    Question Old laptop having random shutdowns and booting-up afterwards - Reasons or solutions?

    I have a old LG R480-3010 Laptop from 2010. For some reason it started to "power surge" randomly, it "shutdown/boots up" by itself, not sure how to describe. It's been happening for months now. The screen goes black for 2 seconds, and the laptop starts booting up from scratch. The power AC...

    Question What are the possible effects a power surge made on my PC?

    In these times of great confusion, once again I come to you guys for help. A couple of days ago, my dad was doing something and he turned off a fuse and back on a couple of times (twice, I think, turned it off and then on, off and on again). Meanwhile the pc was working in the other room when...

    Question Desktop dead after power-outage, PSU replacement didn't fix

    At this point after buying a new PSU and it still not working I am hesitant to just go buying more parts in a guess that that's the issue. Are there any tests I can do for each individual part? I have access to a friend's PC that I can plug in each part into to see if it is functional. Is it...

    [SOLVED] Power Surges detected shutdowns (ASUS Z97)

    Hi, Now 3½ years ago, I built my PC. It always ran smoothly, except for a few times where it would freeze on shutdown (I believe this was due to some sort of compatibility issue with my Anti-Malware, which I have since fixed and haven't seen more of). A few days ago, I had my first ASUS Power...
