My computer is shutting down at night. I will have been on it all day play World of Warcraft and watching videos. I typically just turn off my monitors at night and let my computer go to sleep. I'll have turned off monitors, gone upstairs brushed my teeth etc and I'll hear a long beep coming from downstairs. I come down in morning and find that I need to start my computer up. I poked around my case and found that my top big case fan wasn't spinning. Ok fine. I've had the case for a really long time and was about time to replace it anyway. I bought a Fractal case and put in an additional 4 Noctua 140mm fans along with the 2 120mm fans that came with it.
Well the problem is still happening. I've read that it could be either a PSU or memory issue. Power would make sense since the beep happens right around the time the computer typically goes to sleep. Problem is I've also manually put the computer to sleep before bed and the beep still happens a bit later. I just bought my Corsair RM 750x PSU 2.5 years ago so I'm hoping it's not that. I'm also thinking if it was a memory problem wouldn't the beep and shutdown happen while my computer was under load? I've also found while using CCleaner that the memory dump is around 1.5G. Does that mean it's definitely the memory? Parts aren't exactly cheap right now so I'm hoping to nail down the issue before buying parts.
