Hey Guys

I have a desktop pc that keeps powering off.
I have ran it in safe mode for the last 3 days solid stress testing and running diagnostic software and it hasnt stopped once. I boot in to windows 7 and within a couple of minutes it just powers off. I have reinstalled windows at least 4 times and the same thing happens...........safe mode is fine but windows dies

Please help with some advice on where to go from here

Is it a genuine copy of windows 7 that you keep downloading?. Corrupt software perhaps?. Why do you want windows 7? .

Any advice on what size PSU ?
Is 400w not good enough

Also......I have stress tested the pc to within an inch of its life using Hirens Boot CD

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

Power Supply Calculator - The most accurate PC wattage calculator
I would suggest a 800 watt psu but haven't looked at your draw results just get a true wattage psu
stress tests don't use much power via video card

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

have you checked the event log and see if that shows what is making windows close down ,when you say close down is the pc powering down or is windows just rebooting ,

Yes but there is nothing in there at the time of shut down that points to anything.

It just powers of and doesnt restart unless i press the power button.
Its now been running in safe mode all weekend without a glitch.

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

had a quick look and if you have 2 stick of ram you will be pushing the psu to limits

here is a copy of results with 1 stick of ram and 1 x 80 mm fan and 1 x 120 mm fan

Recommended power supply: 390 W


This is the minumum recommended PSU wattage for the selected components. Choosing a lower wattage PSU increases the risk of system to become unstable and noise from PSU to become annoying. Choosing a higher wattage PSU decreases efficiency at lighter loads, but leaves a margin for overclocking and future upgrades and also ensures the PSU stays cool and quiet.

I have
1 stick x 4gb
1 x 2gb graphics (GT640)
1 x 80mm fan
1x 120mm fan

Just ordered a 750w psu

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

see if you have

HDAT2 4.53: The main function is testing and repair (regenerates) bad sectors for detected devices. A freeware alternative of HDD Regenerator (Dos Freeware).

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

@spud1966 Thank you.

UPDATE.............
Put new 750w psu and still doing the same thing.

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

you consider change to another version of windows or a linux? try it, if you format 4 times and still the same, is related to hardware maybe.. run a mem test and hardisk regenerator. antoher way is run msconfig and start windows services manually and see wish one get error and reboot

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

hi, have checked that the cpu is not overheating? it might be an idea to take the heat sink off and apply new thermal paste. or check in your bios if the system is set to shut down when the cpu reaches a certain temp.

Re: Pleeeeeease hep me

I would run a full hardware diagnostic test, if you use an original windows installer and the PC is a standard machine there are chanches that some hardware failure occurs after a while (e.g. overheating of a component/chip, hd troubles, ram troubles... etc...).
