PC power turns off randomly
Frequently when too many documnets are open (no set number), or keeping several websites open, or when dowloading large files or PDF documents, the PC will just turn itself off with one quick "click". When I push the restart button, Windows XP opens and restarts, does not tell me that the computer was shut off improperly and will restart in safe mode.1 person needs an answerI do too
