My Computer is randomly shuts off.

Asked By Todd K Graham 10 points N/A Posted on - 11/10/2013

When attempting to render a video in Sony Vegas, my computer will shut itself down. The same issue occurs in other programs or while editing with Adobe After Effects. I am thinking that this maybe an issue with my RAM, though I am not really sure of it. My new cooler is showing that my CPU temp will become 60 degrees while rendering. Even when playing games. I added 2 more RAM on two slots with 1GB on each. So I have a total of 6GB now. Partly, I think this fix the issue. But I still think that my 4GB RAM is the problem. However, I can't afford to buy a new one. What can I do to resolve this without spending money? I'm running Windows 8 and I sometimes received BSOD with error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ALSysIO64.sys".

My motherboard is ASRock 970 Exteme4 with AMD FX-8350. Please help me.

My Computer is randomly shuts off.

PC randomly shuts down because of overheating. Computers are designed so that if heat endangered the hardware it automatically shuts down. If this is your problem you can download and install SPEEDFAN. It is small and free. Its basic job is controlling the speed of your Computer’s fan, It will control the CPU temperature.

You should clean and check that your PC is properly ventilated. In the desktop:

1. You need to check the back to make sure that nothing block vents.

2. Open the case and make sure there’s nothing blocking the vents from the inside.

3. Clean the inside with a bottle of air which is compressed.

4. Run the PC while the case is open and make sure that all of the fans of CPU are running properly.

Hello,

The problem of your random shutting down is because of overheating. The components of your PC is quite powerful. As your graphics card is a HD 7850 it requires an 80+ Bronze Power Supply Unit. If your power supply doesn't meet the requirements then it is more likely to show these kinds of problem. I would also like to suggest regarding if there is enough thermal paste on your CPU.
