The title is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes my computer randomly turns off. Ill unplug it for a while (30-60 minutes) plug it back in, and it'll work for like half an hour. Then it turns off again. Eventually, after anywhere from 1-3 weeks, it works again. What is happening and how can i prevent it?

It sounds like the computer is overheating. Unplug the computer, open the case, and use a can of compressed air to clean the dust off of the processor heatsink and fan, motherboard, memory, and any ventilation openings in the case that may be restricted.Jim - MVP Windows Live - Forum Moderator - Live One Care - Live Mesh - Microsoft Security Essentials
