Computer turns off without warning
Computer turns off without warning
(OP)
Help...!
I have the following hardware:
650W power supply (spire 650w)
AMD Athlon-64 X2 5000 AM2 Box
4gb DDR2 PC6400 memory
WD SATA Raptor 74GB 10.000rpm
ATI Fire GL V7200 256 MB PCI3 Card (driver 6.14.10.6392)
Mobo ASUS M2N-SLI deluxe (we had MSI K9N platinum, we changed but it did not matter it seems)
19gb swap (d:\)
Software:
Windows XP Prof. 64bit UK
Solidworks 2007 sp2.2 32bit (we lost the 64bit dvd :(, but it should not be a problem according to the solidworks resellers)
Problem:
The computer shuts down without warning and is not restarting when solidworks is running idle or when i use it. Our electrical installation is ok. The processor is running idle. This happens a few times per day.
I really dont know whats wrong :(
pls help me.

But based on what you've done and are describing it sounds like it's hardware related.
That's the quick off the top of my head thoughts, if I think of anything more I'll post back.

Make sure that the power opptions are set to standby never, and hibernation never.

1) Windows 64-bit--probably a driver/hardware conflict issue
2) A few years ago I was getting restarts and freezes in my old system, particularly after the monitor shut off while I was away (after screen saver timed out). The issue turned out to be a bad motherboard (yes, it was new and had this fault since the computer was new). Once that was replaced, the problem evaporated. It took a bit of trouble-shooting with tech support to isolate the problem to the motherboard.

If you can switch out the power supply with one like it and see if that fixes the problem.
