My computer keeps shutting down, at random times. It could be on for 2 days and then shutdown or it could be on for 5 min and then shutdown. I have got a couple of programs to tell me my computer temp. I am not sure whats making my computer go off so im going to post all the stats I got from PC wizard, maybe someone can then see if something is wrong.

The first thing to do is open the box and make sure that both fans are spinning. There is one on the power supply and one near the CPU.

If it's rebooting and bot just shutting down, then uncheck automatic reboot in system properties, startup and recovery.

Go to Safe Mode... (after checking the fans and confirming that they are working okay)... scan your computer for adware and/or virus (prefferably and)... delete bad stuff... try Ad-Aware SE... search for it in Download.com... too lazy to give you a link right now.

It sounds like a memory problem. Is there anything in the event viewer?

My computer>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer if you haven't found it yet...

Anyway, go to safe mode and defragment your drive.

Since it says paging operation, that sounds like a problem with the swap space on the HD. You can set the system not to use a page file at all and let the memory do all the work, as a test.

To do that, go to the control panel, system, advanced, performance settings, advanced, virtual memory change and click no page file.
