PC random shutdowns
PC random shutdowns
Hi everyone,
I’m checking a client’s PC that was said to shut down randomly or behave oddly when powered on. During testing it worked fine, but I performed some checks.
I did the following:
- Cleaning the internal components (as requested by the client)
- Running stress tests with AIDA64, OCCT, Prime95, and FurMark
- Playing games and using the PC for several hours
Results:
The system operated perfectly for many days without shutdowns, restarts, crashes, or instability. Temperatures remained within safe levels.
The only odd occurrence was when I tried to turn it on right after shutting it down—then the power button didn’t respond. On the second try, it powered on normally. About 10 power cycles completed without problems.
My thoughts:
Based on this, does the PC appear stable? Should I worry about that brief power-on issue, or is it just normal?
Thanks in advance!
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide complete system details. List the specifications as follows:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also note the current BIOS version for your motherboard.
The sole distinction from others' configurations is the type of wall outlet.
Think about trying it with an UPS if possible. It's possible the power line is involved in the issue. An UPS that guards against brownouts could rule out one potential reason—or it might not be worth spending money on. Fluctuating power can lead to unexpected shutdowns.
I'm not using the PC at the moment, but thinking about it...
Here’s what I have: Intel core i3 9100f with stock cooler, ASUS Prime H310M-R R2.0, Eurotech FATX700R50 power supply, G.Skill Aegis DDR4 2x8GB memory, KFA2 NVIDIA GTX 1650 EX with one-click OC, and Eurotech Slayer RX23 Pro case.
Thanks, maybe this is the next best option.
