I bought my PC 3 months ago, so it is not dusty, and it works perfect, only strange switches off! please, help me, what shall i do, reinstall my OS? i can't understand whats the problem, i play games, lithen to music, watch films, and everything is perfect, but.....switches off. Usually my PC switches off when i install some programme or game, or burn CD/DVD, it never switches off when i play games, or watch films. i have a lot of coolers in my system block, so, the temperature should be good, not hot at all!

Personally I think he's great and I've loved every movie he's done. How can you seriously not like Pulp Fiction & Kill Bill. Planet Terror was directed Robert Rodriguezby the way, and I thought it was brilliant as well.

It sounds like one of the fans isn't working inside your system. That's why it keeps shutting down. It overheats and then turns itself off. If you know what you're doing open up the box and see if the fan runs. Otherwise, take it somewhere to get it checked. Good luck
