Most likely it is overheating of the CPU or the power supplu unit. Check for dust clogging the vents in the power supply and on the CPU heatsink.

You've provided too few info.
It's impossible to guess the reason w/o additional facts.
Is it switch off immediately or it peforms correct Windows shut down procedure? Or may be it just reboots?
First leads to a hardware failure, most probably power supply unit or motherboard (less probably). Try to just replace PSU at first (get one for test from your neighbor or friend, you just need to make connections, no need to install PSU to the case).
Second leads to a software problem, such as virus activity or driver failure. Try to explore events in Windows Event viewer. You may need to call pro to find the failure.
Third may lead to both hardware or software problem. Very wide variety of problems. You'd provided no more symptoms. Most probably profy required at the place.

My pc shut down out of nowhere and will not power up at all.

Something like this is usually hardware failure. Power is the most likely at this point. Check for the obvious, like a tripped circuit (home or surge protector), and loose power cord. Try a different power outlet...and test with simple voltmeter.

Hello, welcome to Fixya!

Does the computer still power on? That is, do you still see any sign of power on the computer?

Check your power adapter and make sure it is still working....

I look forward to your reply based on the question above.

My compaq presario sr1000 computor won't stop beeping from the inside and it says no signal on the monitor

1 short beep and 1 long beep means its a memory problem.
Shut down your computer, then open your computer case and replace the memory module.If you have 2 or more modules ,try starting the pc with one.If it fails, try a different single module.

2 short beeps and 1 long beep repeating for 5 times means its a graphics card issue.
Shut down your computer, then open your computer case and unplug the graphics card, then plug it again.If this doesn't help, try with a different(confirmed working) graphics card.

No power on will shutdown

Hello

First of all press ALT+CTRL+DEL and start Task Manager, there is probably some application (or other process) that is not reponding. You can kill them to let the shutdown continue, and know what is causing the problem and maybe find an update for it.

Also this means that your computer has not been rebooted properly since the installation of important system updates. If you have "Automatic Updates" scheduled on your machine, these updates could have downloaded and installed without your knowledge. To fix this issue, let the updates finish installing, reboot and then shut down your computer as normal.

Click "Start."

Click "Windows Update." Click "Install Updates" to begin the installation of any updates that have been downloaded to your Compaq Presario. When the "Restart Now" button becomes available, click it once. Your Compaq Presario will shut down Windows, finish installing the updates and then reboot your computer.

Click "Shut Down." Because the updates have finished installing and have been installed properly, your Compaq Presario will now shut down normally and will not immediately boot back up.

Brand new computor freezes

It basically means that your game is incompatible (cannot play on ur OS).

All you have to do is:

Go to Safe Mode, To do this, you need to boot up and press f8 until you see the advanced options, go to Safe Mode. Login with the correct details, and go to control panel. Uninstall the game and restart your PC to take effects.

The next time your buying a software for your PC, check to see if it's compatible with your OS.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like your power supply may have died. Check all the power connections to your pc (if it is connected to a power-bar, make sure the power bar has not gone bad). If everything looks good there, you probably need to by a new PSU (Power Supply Unit)

On/Off problems

It sound as if there is a system file error. If you havent already, try booting up in safe mode (F8) on start up and when and if it allows you highlight 'Last known good configuration' and hit enter for a restart. If still nothing you need to insert your windows installation disc and hit enter when prompted. This will run a file installation, but not a format and when the files have installed you will have the choice to install windows or repair; select repair for system file installation.
