Computer Randomly Restarting

Basiccly it keeps on turning itself off :(

Does anyone know why it is going off and how it can be fixed please

Thanks you in advance ;)

You need a new power supply. Depending on the components inside your computer, you'll need one rated at a particular wattage. There is also no such thing as a cheap PSU - unless you want one that a) doesn't support the wattage it claims and b) will blow up randomly.

thank you mate ;)

is this for definete or could it be any type of virus etc. ? ;)

It could be a virus so check that first but I'd be very, very surprised as they are usually written to immediately turn the computer off at bootup or when you do something in particular to set the script off rather than at random times.

If your PSU is a few years old, that would support my initial diagnosis.

Is it turning itself off completely? or is just restarting the computer?

If it's just restarting the computer check your bios and see how hot your CPU is running at (usually in the hardware monitor menu) and check to see if you have a safeguard enabled to restart your comp when it gets to a certain temp.
