this only used to happen when I was spyware/virus scanning my computer but now it happens a few times a week while I'm doing nothing out of the ordinary. The computer just shuts down and the green light on the comp stays lit. I have to switch off the psu for the light to go off and then am I able to turn the comp back on.

and then when it turns on, the usual black screen goes up but there's a message saying that now the cpu will run at a slower speed or something like that.

I know it's weird but if anyone knows what's going on then thanks in advance

check your cpu temps. Run in safe mode.

and check the voltages get speedfan and make sure it is cool
Download SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer just click on the blue letters that say speedfan 4.33 under download

cpu temp is around 41C idle but I tried converting a video and it shot up up to 62C while I used the comp

and cpu is running at 1.8GHz when it is supposed to be running at 2.66GHZ(stock)

not oc'ed at all v-core @ 1.312 ish

o yeah and it's a pen d 805 if that matters

since the temp is 62C the hsf is @ 2400rpm

think i need a new hsf or something?

go into safe mode, and go back to an earlier system restore, c if that will do the trick. If it doesn't get some compressed air, blow out the cpu heatsink, psu, and any other dust. if it still doesn't work i would suggest buying a $12 psu tester to see if you psu is going out.

[Transerver]

I'll try that, I've been using the psu for 2yrs+ and I've got 2 for backup so thats not a problem

I'll switch em up if the dusting doesn't work

[Transerver]

alright, i blew away most of the dust and i turned it back on, its going at 2.66GHZ but idle temp is 53C which is a little high for idle

should I try switching out the psu?

[Luke]

check how fast the cpu fan is going first,

[Transerver]

ah nvm I feel so dumb, it seems to be idling at 36-41C after i deleted f@h and restarted

thanks anyways

no prob
