Hi
Recently my computer has started shuting down over night without me telling it to.
Ive googled a bit and found nothing to help.
When i check the event viewer it is always around 2am that the computer shuts down,
this is what is in the event viewer:

The previous system shutdown at 02:01:40 on 24/07/2009 was unexpected.

That file is from April. Did you have these problems in April?
I wonder where your BSOD's are being logged. Please check in C:\Windows for a file named MEMORY.DMP If you find it, let us know and we'll suggest something to get it to us.

No, these problems have only started in the last few days.
The Memory.dmp is also dated to april

More information might be helpful.

1) Does this happen every night if left running or sporadically?

2) Does it happen within a very close time frame every time?

If so it may be something scheduled and Task Scheduler may
aid troubleshooting.

Limace, for how much time the System is switched on.

If your system overheats i.e. CPU (Intlel or AMD)
If it gives you a long beep.

Please Check your Power Supply for overheating or your system needs more power,

Try checking it with a more powerful Power Supply Unit.

It is on from about 9am till about 2am whenit turns itself off
I dont think it overheats as the temprature stays between 40 and 50 degrees, not sure about the power supply though.


Last night i left mozilla and photoshop open and it didnt turn off :confused:

Then Please Scan your system for Viruses,Spyware and malware.

Can also be a Virus issue.

If not the issue then check Task scheduler for any particular task which does the work of Shutting down your system.

Did a complete scan and a found "WMA:Wimad [Drp]" in a music file, have now deleted that.

Not sure how to use Task Scheduler, how would i find a task that shuts down the computer?

Ok. Just check tonight if it shuts down again.

If it doesn't then it was a virus problem and if it does then re post here.

I will find some other way to help.

Re: My previous suggestion of using Task Scheduler to troubleshoot,
it doesn't apply unless it's happening within a 3 or 4 minute time band.
Every night at the same time.

It's happening in a 1 to 2 hour time band so can't be the task scheduler

Most likely not.

Just as an experiment you might try creating a new User Account,then every
evening,log off from your current account and into the new one.

Leave the new account up all night. If the computer doesn't shut down
in the new account you can transfer your personal files to it and ignore
or delete the old account.
