    Computer keeps shutting down. Already replaced power supply.
    « on: December 11, 2020, 07:49:36 AM »
    I posted the below message on reddit but received no help. Hope you guys can give me a solution:

    My 2 year old Ryzen 2400g pc is behaving strangely since yesterday.  It's unable to stay in the sleep mode and keeps shutting down.

    I took it to a repair shop today and they tested the pc but it behaved pretty normally all the time it was in the repair shop. So I brought it back home but the problem is recurring.

    So far I've tried running system file checker, disabled windows fast boot option and uninstalled the amd updates I did few days ago. I've run the event viewer program and it's throwing up lot of errors which I do not understand. I can send screenshots to anyone who is interested in looking at them for me.

    Right now I'm running windows memory diagnostic tool and it hasn't been able to find any error  so far.

    Before yesterday, my pc would randomly boot up at odd times. I woke up in the morning yesterday and the pc was turned con when I remembered shutting vit down when I went to sleep.

    Since the problem did not happen at the repair shop, maybe it's happening due to a faulty UPS or the jumble of cables behind the cpu. Right now I've connected the cpu to a different powerstrip to see what happens.

    Please help if you can.


    Edit: I've tried running the pc without the UPS and the problem remains. The problem only manifests after a couple of hours from a cold boot. It could be a faulty power supply. I have no idea."

    Update: I've replaced the power supply and reinstalled the windows but the problem is still happening. What should I do?

    Check in bios to see if somehow the wake on boot at a certain time is set up. Other thing to check on is WOL ( Wake On Lan ) setting to make sure sure the system isnt getting a wake on lan signal to boot somehow while it is sleeping as for its still listening on the LAN even when in sleep mode.
