Hello here is the homepage:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1863#dl

Mine did that once; it turned out to be the power settings, in the control panel.

Have you downloaded any files recently?
If you download a bad file that contains a keylogger, it usaully shuts down the pc, it has happend to me.

The problem could also be dust or overheating, lack of ram memory,
harddrive failing, dryed out thermal paste, between the cpu and the coolling element.

Try to scan for virus with this:

And renew the antivirus program for free:

I recommend not to use more than one antivirus program.

Good luck

Shutdowns can be caused by many things. If you have your pc setup for automatic updates, some updates require a reboot and will do that automatically. Normally you can prevent that from happening by changing the settings from automatically updating to notify me first before updating.

The shutdown can also be caused by the cpu overheating. Your computer will automatically shut down to protect itself.

Shutdowns can also be created by a infected computer. Malware can cause this.

With out further details, such as what you were doing at the time of the shutdown it's difficult to say why your system is shutting down.

I can say that normally if its a update your system will shut down and reboot, not always, but usually.
Not a lot of help but additional information is really needed. What you are doing, brand of pc, if you have loaded new software or hardware, as much information as you can provide would help.

Sometimes, just goggling you problem on line with the make of the pc will help you find the answer you are having. Many times the problem you are having has already been addressed and a solution provided.

Lenovo T61 keeps shutting down for no reason. Repair shop took out fan and checked it, works fine. They also blew out dust from vents. Problem still there. I installed a CPU temp utility pgm and shows temp...

Automatic shutdown is always cause of overheating, busted heatsink/ fan/motherboard. if the fan and heatsink wasnt replaced yet though they check it fine i would still recommend replacing it. if the problem persists a mainboard replacement would be the last part needs to be replaced.

Windows 98 will not shut down

There are several reasons that can cause old Windows operating systems to shut down. Has this always been an issue or did it just start happening? If it just started, then think back to what you may have changed on the system...hardware or software. Remove software or hardware and try it again.

You can also try disabling the fast shut down sequence by following these steps:
1. Go into msconfig (this can be done by typing msconfig under the command prompt)
2. Go into advanced.
3. Put a check mark in the disable fast shutdown box.
4. Click ok and ok again.
Try shutting it down.

If that doesn't do the trick or its already disabled then check out this link:

When i play sims 2 it always hang then my pc will shut down automatically. the spec of the games are compatible to my loptop what will i do?

There is a problem of overheating. Maybe the specs are almost exactly the same as the game requirements. So the PC still has to work hard. This causes overheating, which should not happen if it is even perfectly compatible.

So, this means that something is causing the computer to overheat. Firstly, shut down any open background programs. Also, see that the laptop vents are not blocked by any thing around. Remember to dust the heatsinks, fans and the casing. Also, the keyboard and main vents. If you can, vacuum it all and open up the casing to be sure that all the gunk is out.

The fan on my Dell Inspiron 4000 is always running.

a couple suggestions:

try starting in safe mode and see if it does it still. It could be that you have some background program like Windows update or that new Windows active search function, which spends copious amounts of processor time cataloging your entire computer. Some anti-virus programs will do the same and eat up processor time. I'd try shutting down as many of these background processes to see what (or what combination) is causing the problem.

If this doesn't work, you might have a bad connection with your heatsink, which would cause your computer to stay at or your fan might be going bad, causing it to get really loud.

I'm not going to go into the possibility of it being used on a lap or bed or carpet where the fan intake vent is getting blocked. I know you've eliminated this as a possibility. Right?

Shuts down

A Vista Upgrade from XP could cause problems, and even the one you describe, but not an "update" usually. But then again, if when it shuts itself down, if you have to press the power button twice to get it to start back up, I would say that the processor is overheating (in which case the system does this to keep from frying the CPU). If that's the case, a cleaning of the fan and heat sync could fix the problem. You could also run temperature monitoring software (plenty are available for free trials).
As always more detailed information on this issue you are having would help.
Good luck.
