abnormal windows shutdown

[vabsjava]

Hi all of you!

Actually what is happening is that when i boot up my system it boots up normally but after some particular time interval it automatically shutsdown without showing the shutting down screen.

so i checked the RAM whether it was correct , I checked my hardware parts but the result is the same.

but when i start my system without bios then it says that some file is missing.

to start again i have to switch off my UPS and after some minutes i had to restart it again.......

and the same thing follows

can anybody suggest me the solution for this.?????

You might try
Right-click on the desktop->Properties to bring up the properties dialog. Go to the Screen Saver tab, Power button and see if System Standby is set to something besides Never.
I am also having trouble with an XP Home machine that doesn't like to wake up from standby which I believe to be related to a failing HD, but probably doesn't pertain to your problem.

Also, if this is a Dell machine, there is known problem waking from s3 with a usb device plugged in. Dell has published a patch for this.

I had a similar problem on one of my PCs. Solved the problem by replacing the power supply unit. It got hot and cut out. Good luck!

actually I am having the intel desktop, am not having dell lappy.....

Some UPS devices are capable of shutting down the desktop when power fails. Such UPS devices will have TWO cables that run to your desktop...a cable to power your desktop and another cable that runs to a card on your motherboard.

If you see only 1 cable, this means that your UPS may not be the cause. However, if your UPS beeps before your desktop shuts down or that a red light is shown on the front with no beeps, check that the UPS is properly connected to your power source.

I still think that heat may be the reason. Check & clean dust on the CPU fan and on the power supply unit. Make sure that the CPU fan is spinning well.

Hope this helps.

This makes the most sense.

That's probably a dust-clogged fan.

The Best suggestion to you is to run hardware monitoring software and see what the sensors tell you about your cpu and motherboard temperature as well as fan speed and memory and hard drive processes. All the systems I have built run ASUS which is the number one manufacturer of motherboards in the world and they all come standard with hardware monitoring helping me narrow down any problems that come up.

So third party hardware monitoring could be found on google.. here is a link..

Click here to see the list of google search

Once everything checks out there, start looking at your hardware, also make sure its not a virus by starting the computer in safe mode and running your antivirus (Norton, PCCilin etc)

Well hope this helps (use the process of elimination and if all fails replace hardware)

Good Luck, Cyberdyne.

It's probably dust in the heatsink. Open the case and vacuum out the dust. Or you may need a new fan or refresh the heatsink compound.

I suggest replacing the heat sink as well as the fan and the compound. You can get the entire thing for about 5 bucks nowdays. I suggest getting a zelman or arctic cool. Find out what processor or motherboard you have and I will send you a link with some good deals.
