| computer shuts down by itself Lately my computer started to think for himself and one in a while he just shuts down by itself without any warnings. It happens usually when P.T 8 is open,i have a intel quad PC 2 Gig ram and more. Any ideas? |

| Definitely open her up and check for dust accumulations and like the previous post, be sure the fans are unobstructed. Usually when they shut down on their own its a fail-safe to keep the components from frying from overheating. Good luck. |

| also check your bios for USB power on/off. I had a simular issue where my PC would turn on at night. In my bios my USB wireless keyboard was power cycling my PC when it lost connection from dying battery. I agree with the others, give a good blast of compressed air. You might also lift the fan off the CPU and make sure you have any arctic silver left? |

 | Get yourself a can of canned air, blow out all the dust. If that doesn't help it could be your computer is overheating when PT is open. My graphics card does this when i try to play high quality computer games. |
