Description of problem

My PC keeps shutting itself off and instantly turning on while gaming. I believe it is overheating, but I am not sure if it is, or what part could be the issue. My CPU temperature before shutting down is as high as 60 degrees celsius, which isn't too high to the best of my understanding.

When this issue began

It happened once over a month ago and started again 2 days ago.

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

I built the pc in January 2016.

Under Warranty

No

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Running games causes it to shut down. It can happen in as soon as half an hour, or it can not happen after even a few hours.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

I have monitored my CPU temperature, and it doesn't seem to be too high. I have checked my fans, and they seem to be working properly. I have also disabled automatic restart to see if the computer would still shut off by itself, and it does.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
