Hello All,

recently my PC started crashing several times a day. sometimes when i go to play a game, or other times just sitting idle on my desktop. there are no errors or blue screen, it just shuts off. i am able to boot back up right after crashing. is this going to be a power supply issue? or could it be something else? Thanks for any help.

Could be any number of things:

Power Supply
Heat
Drivers (bad or corrupt)

List your complete system specs.

I guess it's about that time when you need to give your system a thorough cleaning. You may also need clean off the old thermal grease and reapply a fresh film if you are using a thermal compound for heat transfer.
