    Notebook Randomly Shutting Off


    Hi,

    I was just surfing the net when the notebook shut off and restarted randomly.

    I checked in the event viewer and it said this:

    Critical: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

    Hello,

    Try running Prime95; in particular, the Large FFTs test: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html

    If the crashes persist, upload a BSOD report.

    Hi,

    I am not getting any BSOD's, but it is just shutting off by itself randomly.

    Ok, I will do a stress test with Prime95, but is it necessary to run it for 12 hours straight? If so, can I use the notebook during the stress test?

    Thanks,
    Slasher

    You can try to use the notebook, although you may find it too slow to do much with.

    Perhaps the full system report generated by that BSOD program will contain enough info to help us.

    Another cause could be your fan not cooling the cpu. You could try blowing out the vents to
    make sure that they are not clogged up. Also that there is plenty of room for input air to your
    fans.

    Hi,

    Jonathan_King - Ok, I won't use the notebook during the Prime95 test. One question. Should I upload the BSOD report first then do the Prime95 test or vice versa?

    Richnrockville - I intend soon to undervolt the notebook, as well as clean the vents and fans and stuff, and hopefully even apply some Arctic Silver 5. But right now, I am using a laptop cooler to cool the notebook.

    Thanks,

    Why don't you plan on doing the test first? If it crashes, the report may pick up some additional clues.

    Plus, I'm about to leave for work, so I won't be able to do anything with the report for a while.

    Hi,

    Ok thanks, I will do the test first, then upload a BSOD report.

    That won't matter I guess, since the Test will take 12 hours and your work would probably take less than 10 hours. Sorry I am bothering you by the way.

    Thanks,

    You need to run Prime95 for a few hours I'd say, though more does not hurt.

    And no worries about bothering me, if I minded it, I wouldn't post here.
