Hey guys,
In the last few weeks my PC has started turning off without warning - as though someone hit the reset button on the case.
There's no error, no BSoD - just a restart.
I've been into crash reports / task viewer and it simply says that an unexpected shutdown occurred but the reason is unknown.
Am I right in thinking that if it was a hardware fault involving anything except the power unit, I'd get an error message / BSoD? In which case, am I looking at a faulty power unit?
I've been into the case. I have almost zero hardware expertise but I can't see any bad connections. I've remounted the RAM in case that was the issue. No change.
It seems to happen at random - it can go a few days without doing it, or a few times in the space of a few hours.
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
