Ok its about time I had something to complain about with my pc again. It's an odd one, so bear with me
First started maybe a month ago. I was leaving my pc on some nights to do afk selling on an online game. On switching it off in a morning, sometimes it would actually restart. Properly, as if I'd pressed 'Restart' in the windows menu, so windows would shut down, then start up again immediately. I put this down to possibly overheating, i.e. its been on all night and then 'waking' it up with the mouse activity was causing overheating just as it shut down.
Then it started doing it at random. Once my pc had only been on for 10 mins for a quick internet round before work. And finally today, the last straw. I switched it off before going to work. A good 2 minutes in advance. As I walked out the door, the screen was black, no lights on the tower and no noises coming from it to indicate anything was going on. 5 hours later, I get home... and the pc is on. (yes, the door was locked, no mole hadn't been home
)
I've checked for viruses (updated whenever available, scan every thursday), and carried out an adaware check for spyware etc. Everything is clean except the odd tracking cookie that you pick up. I've had no hardware changes since September, no environment changes, nothing except the odd game being installed.
