Hey.
See, here's the deal. A bit back the computer was randomly shutting down and all, sometimes before the comp would even fully boot up. Sometimes during boot, sometimes a bit after the desktops loaded, and sometimes even hours later, till it got to the point where it wasn't even possible to fully boot somewhat. We had took the comp to a tech guy, he told us it was the motherboard.We got a motherboard that was pretty much like the old, but the issue was still there. So we got a brand new different one from the tech guy. It fixed the issue for what seems like a month now. But the issue seems to be slowly coming back. I have no idea if it could be a virus that goes to the mother board or what. Sorry for the less than detailed setup at the moment. I'm trying to get this in before a random reboot again. Thanks in advance.

While it's still up I'll dump some notes down.
-When we went to the tech guy I had assumed it was the powersupply at first but he tested it and said it was fine.
-Sometimes before it decides to shut down it will do the setting that is set to the power button (sleep, shutdown, show options). If I set it to nothing it will just shutdown with no warnings, the others being warnings.
-Before when testing the first mother boards we'd have just the motherboard, ram, and power hooked up and it'd still have the issue, hence the pointing to the motherboard in general.
-Also I think the tech guy tested the ram but I would assume a new mother board wouldn't have fixed it if it was the ram before.
-Two times, once when we first got the motherboard and recently it showed before booting: "Warning the previous overclocking has failed." dunno if it's relivant
- Sometimes I have to unplug the power and wait a bit then plug it back in to be able to have a shot at turning it on, even then it may not boot fully.
- it seems the max amount of time I can keep it up at the moment is around 30 minutes at the moment.Did a scan with Malwarebytes to see if it was a virus but nothing showed. Trying with Avira AntiVir Personal now. Also I was generally browsing earlier when the symptoms seemed to have returned.
