Computer turning off by itself
Hi guys,
I'm running Windows 7 home premium on an older Compaq Presario. It has developed the habit of turning itself off just like someone pulled the plug and especially when I try to play a facebook game (every time!). I've run SFC /scannow, chkdsk, Malwarebytes, CCleaner and have McAfee. None of them came up with any problems. Speccy doesn't indicate anything is overheating (28C on the processor and 38C on the motherboard). I'm beginning to think that maybe it's a wonky power supply?
*Forgot to add - I can immediately turn it back on and it will usually work for a while before it turns itself off again.
Anyone have this problem before and if so, what was it???
