ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

My old computer has started randomly shutting itself down at utterly random times. Blame this is I randomly go offline, for no reason.
Either that, or Dad's dragging me off my computer. Again.
Bleargh. Curse you, evil computer.

Is it breaking?!  yikes  Discuss!

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

Have you also gotten the blue screen of death a few times recently? If so, then yes. Your computer's probably on it's last legs

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

I think it's broken.  sad  On my old computer, it started randomly shutting down. Then it would do this thing where the screen would slowly shrink, and then die. It's dead now.

Well, windows or not
Your computer's dead anyway.
It's just that yours doesnt even have the blue screen of death warning

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

It may not be dead, but it probably is. Any way you could identify why it's shutting down?

My dad unplugs it without shutting it down, and that's probably what's killing it... ;_; Gee, thanks dad!

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

Does it do a normal shutdown or a sudden one?

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

Pretty much the same thing happened on my old XP computer! But I think it had something to do with me accidentally downloading a malicious file from the internet. Yeah, I was stupid back then.

Back. For now. Maybe.

Re: ANOTHER notification thingy. You're sick of them, so sorry.

Mine did that but I fixed it.

H O W    T O   F I X   IT  : )

To fix it I reset the BIOS. You take out that round battery for about 15 seconds and put it back in (make sure the computer is unpluged and all static is gone). If that doesn't work check the power supply by swapping it with one you know works. If it still doesn't work refomat and install the OS. If it still doesn't work retry the above steps again. STILL not working? Try a new hard drive. STILL NOT WORKING??? Give up.
