System shuts down

<< < (2/2)

Kitte:
Despite cleaning out dust and furballs, my PC still shuts down - so much for blaming my cats.

I found a (somewhat irritating) work around by tabbing out and letting the processor cool down periodically.

I also read about a known issue with bad power supplies with this particular Alienware model -- So it looks like resolution will be replacing power supply vs liquid nitrogen. :)

ZiggyDoodle:
Do check the "building/updating a PC" thread here as there is good info on PSUs.

Kitte:
Thanks, that's a great thread!

Definitely a heat problem, then. Your solution will thus require upgrading the cooling system. And anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
