this happens when i run something like a game, or a virus scan it
always shuts down, i have many fans and everything but my harddrive is
at low temperatures do you think it could be because my hdd keeps
gettin too hot? and is that supposed to shut down your computer? my
computer it shuts down with no warning just all of a sudden shuts down,
i have replaced the ram, graphics card, and power supply but it is
still shutting down could it be a virus or because of overheating?
 
Hi

Have a look in the Event Viewer for any 'Errors'. If any are found could
you please post the Event ID & Source. Those may be able to pinpoint the
problem.

Does the computer shut down and have to be restarted manually? Or
does it shut down and then restart by itself?

If it is restarting by itself then open Control Panel - Performance
and Maintenance - System - Advanced and click on the Settings button
in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section. In the Startup and
Recovery window click on the checkbox for "Automatically restart" to
clear it. Then click on Apply and OK as needed to exit.

Good luck
