Comment:
my computer shuts down randomly. mostly when I`m watching a movie or playing or downloading something..
can it be overheating ?
I`m not an expert. Two fans weren`t working when I went to setup while rebooting.
Chassis FAN speed 0 rpm
Second Fan speed 0 rpm
should they be working or are these just somekind extra fans.
Or can there be anything else wrong ?

paradise,

Could be overheating or could be a weak/overloaded power supply. What is your CPU temp? If you don't have a monitoring program installed, the temp should be listed in the BIOS.

sinaii,

I don't know if you're the same person under a different name or if you're hijacking the thread. Did you try removing the additional memory to see if it made a difference? If you "removed as many viruses as possible using Avast", it sounds like you have other problems...did you scan for spyware?
