Two nights ago my desktop computer randomly shut down by itself during the night. I noticed this but didn't bother getting up to check it out (assumed it was a windows update or something). The next day I turned on the computer but there was no monitor display. The keyboard and mouse weren't lit and there was no change for about 5 minutes. I restarted a couple more times and finally got a display, but then my computer just automatically just turned off after a few seconds.
I thought it might be loose cables or something inside the computer so I disconnected the hard drive and all the dvd drives. This solved nothing. I'm guessing either my motherboard is fried or there's something wrong with the power supply. It's also possible that something (either cpu or motherboard) is overheating. I'm no expert and don't really know how to deal with any of these problems.
So I took out my laptop and hooked it up to the monitor I was using with my desktop, and was met with yet another problem. The external monitor would keep blinking every 3 seconds or so, non-stop. I proceeded to update all my drivers and stuff but to no avail. I'm guessing my laptop inverter is broken as well. FML.
If anyone has any ideas about how to fix any of these problems, please let me know. Otherwise I'm probably gonna buy both a new desktop and laptop this weekend. Ran ridiculously good today (even though I had to deal with a stupid 17" screen) so I have it financially covered for the most part.

weird. I have no idea what's wrong but have had similar frustrations in the past. If I were you I'd just use it as an excuse to get a new setup. |

It could be the power source (which u can usually replace for like 40-50), or overheating. I used to have a similar problem on an old pc and bought a special fan and it never happened again. |
