Question Computer Randomly Shuts Down

[wm3797]

Computer will not start unless I unplug the power cable from the PSU and re-plug it, then the computer will start. It will also not start when trying to awake from sleep. And at times, it randomly shuts down on its own.

as detailed as possible, what are your specs?
what model power supply do you have and how old is it?

PSU = EVGA 450 B.
Computer is OEM, Intel i5 6400, DDR3 8GB,

the motherboard is probably dying. i bet some capacitors started to bulge.

that or same thing, but for the PSU.


without spare parts you can't know for sure, but very soon your computer will refuse to boot at all.

It happened a lot before to me, at that time i used special fans with a know i turned to reduce speed. turns out those things kills motherboards over time.
was in 2007-2010. 3 motherboards in 3 years. I really hate those enermax fans !
