My computer constantly turns off and on. Just a black screen and unexpectedly. I have asked this question before and thought I had fixed it.
I had asked this question before and thought it was a problem with the stock heatsink. I noticed that the PC was having performance issues and was overheating a lot. It would then turn off after a while. I assumed it was the CPU overheating which would turn off the computer. The plastic frame that held it down to the motherboard had cracked and no longer properly worked as intended.
I just installed the new replacement part today. It booted to desktop. I then started to update it and monitor it via taskmanager. I noticed the CPU usage went down and it was no longer overheating so I had assumed it was fixed but then it black screened while I was downloading updates. I checked to see if the power supply was ok by pressing and holding down the button beside the LED light on the back of the computer. It stayed green so the power supply is fine. So if the power supply is fine and the new heatsink and fan are fine what could the problem be now? I honestly do not really know what it could be. Maybe a bios issue? I wouldn't know. I'm thinking of a software issue.
I got a USB and Windows 10 key. I could wipe everything and hope that fixes it but I really rather not have it come to that. Any suggestions and possible answers would be greatly appreciated. Also, the warranty expired almost over a decade ago.
