I've got a home assembled PC based around an Asus motherboard. Which shuts
off at random. Not a controlled shut down - it just dies. Thinking PS
problems I've replaced it. Same thing. Sometimes it will boot up ok and
continue for as long as I want. Sometimes it switches off half way through
the boot sequence - but never at the same time. Any guesses? I've got AVG
free installed and that shuts it down after doing its tests. That sequence
always works ok.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Take a look at the CPU fan and heatsink,if need be take them off and see if
they need a clean? fluff and dust build up a lot in this area and clog the
fins of the heatsink resulting in random shutdown because of overheating.
If this is not the problem load bios defaults.
