Hello,
Over the past week my computer keeps shutting itself off. It's quite annoying because I'll be in the middle of a program and then my screen goes blank before I can save.
I've double checked the hybernating mode, and have at least got it to warn me with the Shut Down/Restart/Standby menu before it actually shuts itself off.
I can't seem to find anything out of the ordinary in the Events menu either. Also have run Ad-aware for any spyware that might be doing this. Have deleted the files, but the computer still does the same thing.
I thought maybe its the power strip, but my monitor and everything else attached to the strip stays on when the computer shuts off.
Anyone have any ideas? I.e. could there be a virus that's causing this? Or does this sound more hardware related?
Thanks!
