My computer has started turning itself off about 15 minutes after it's become active. This was initially a problem last October and November. Whenever I turned the computer on, it would work for 15 minutes and then cut out. Sometimes it would restart itself with no problem. Other times, the restart would freeze and I would have to cut power and it would start normally. Once restarted, it would work normally for 24 hours or more and then repeat the process.
On a couple of occasions, I did the full launch restore process and on one occasion that seemed to fix the problem for a week or so. The second time, it did nada.
I took the computer to my computer guy - a pro who usually fixes business computers. I pad $200.00 for him to run some heavy duty anti virus programs. The computer worked fine for 10 days and then the problem returned.
So I decided not to manually turn the computer off and to simply let it go into sleep mode. This "cured" the problem for about 6 weeks. As of 2 days ago, the problem is back and all the same BS is occurring.
Today was particularly disturbing as it kept freezing whenever I attempted launch restore and I had to simply cut power and start normally. (When I do this, it always starts and is fine for 24 hours or more).
Any guesses as to what is going on and how to fix?
I normally stay away from sleazier porn sites, although I do check out X-Art and a couple of the "nicer" sites. I haven't gone anywhere new in the last couple of days.
The only common ground between the last couple of days and last November is temperature. My heating is controlled from elsewhere in the building and it gets chilly in my living room where the computer lives until I switch on electric heaters in the morning. This is not a problem in winter as the landlord keeps the heat cranked up high; but in moderate temperature, his apartment seems to be warmer than mine and the heating is set low.
