Solved PC Crashes with NO BSOD and NO Minidump File.

[grumpyduck]

Its got me stumped can you help..?

My PC has taken to just turning itself off as if hit by power cut.

There is no BSOD and there aren't any minidump files created.

The PC runs fine in "Safe Mode With Networking" but in "Start Windows Normally" after a few minutes, sometimes as many as 10 it just switches off.

I haven't installed any new hardware for over 6 months.

I imagine its a driver perhaps, but how do I tell which without any information ?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you weren't having any BSoDs?
I do see some files from last month.
