random shut down, not heat related
for the past couple of months my computer will randomly shut down out of no where. It happens sometimes while just surfing the net, or sometimes during games, or just now while watching a movie. A google search lead me to download a program called speedfan to check that my computer wasnt overheating (i wouldnt think so, its winter here in oz and i have a very well ventilated case) speedfan says temp1 is 44 degrees C with a green tick so i guess thats not too high.. i only wish i knew what temp1 actually was lol. my 4 cores are running at 23-29c idle and 45 when i open a bunch of stuff (wow@ max settings + movies + 6 tabs in firefox)
I dont know else it can be, there seems to be no common reason for it to shutdown. One thing that may be worth noting is that when it shuts down it wont always start right up again, i press the power button and nothing happens, then if i leave it for about half an hour it comes good again. Then it may run fine for days with no shut downs. a couple of weeks even. Othertimes after a half hour break it may start up again only to shut down after being up for 2 minutes.
Im so lost! plz help!
