I am new to Computer Hope because I am DESPERATE, and need some hope!
I have a Cybertron PC, that operates on Windows 8. Usually, I am pretty experienced with computers and can fix whatever is wrong.
Here's the issue, while I am on the computer it will start up, and I can log on, but within maybe 5-10 minutes upon start-up it turns off without warning!!!
At first I thought maybe it was a Power Supply issue, (I have owned the PC for about 2 years now) so I bought a new power supply for it, and just recently installed it.. It still shuts down completely, so I ruled that out.. Then I thought maybe it was a RAM issue, (which I had 8GB RAM so it was UNLIKELY) but I installed 16GB RAM just to be safe... It still kicked off..
I have done a hand full of Computer Diagnostics trying to target the problem with my PC.
I went through each and every driver through the device manager, including my processor to see if there were any issues whatsoever in there, and there was not a single problem found.
I uninstalled all of my recently installed software that might have been corrupt, and the problem has been persisting.
I ran a anti-virus scan in the event it was anything malicious, or if it was infected by corrupt software and there were no problems found there, which made me run a scan through Windows Defender, and still found no problems within the PC.
Conclusion being; 1. Not a Power issue.
2. Not a RAM issue.
3. Not a Driver issue.
4. Not a Software issue.
5. Not a Virus issue.
What are the chances that it is a Motherboard issue at this point? I figured if it were Motherboard related I would have found an error message regarding so within the Administrative Tools section? I'm stuck at this point.
