Random Black Screen Shutdowns
I am getting totally random black screen shutdowns. I have read through a lot of the other threads and find nothing that relates to my situation. Running W7 Pro 64 bit on a home built tower PC. Not a single problem for the last 5 years. The shut down can occur after several hours or as little as ten minutes, while surfing the net or just idling. It will try to restart and sometimes it works, other times it offers me the DOS page to restart in Safe Mode etc. It even died once while in Safe Mode, and a couple of times while attempting to reboot. Sometimes it just goes into an unsuccessful reboot loop.
I have low to normal temperatures showing all the time. I have checked and reseated all connections and can't find anything amiss. I have looked at the Windows Event Viewer and there is a huge amount of stuff listed there but I have not got the tech savvy to understand any of it. I could understand maybe if I was trying to do something processor intensive at the time but this is never the case. I don't do games or video editing, etc. Any suggestions guys?
