Hi!

For the last few days now my computer randomly just switches off...not shut down but literally...boom its off...and monitor goes to sleep.

I have just tried wiping the computer and whilst loading 8.1 it must have crashed again while I was away as it was off and its now restoring the previous version....

This is seriously frustrating. I built this rig myself a few years ago and this is the first time I have had problems with it.

Could my PSU be failing? Its the only thing I can think of. My temps are all fine as I thought it may be the GPU overheating whilst playing games.

Any help would be appreciated. There was one problem in the windows log called DistributedCOM - Event 10010 which came up as an Error.

Thanks!
James

Ah okay at the time I was restrained on money but not anymore. I havent had any problems since building it so I suppose thats not bad 😛

I think I will purchase a better PSU anyway...what make would you suggest?
