My computer randomly shut down
So I've been leaving my cpu on for a few days and today it randomly shut down at around 7 AM. I booted it up again and it shut down again. I booted it a second time and it appears to be working fine. How can I find out why it shut down? I don't think that it overheated because I left my window open all night and my room is quite cold. The fans aren't ejecting air that's super hot either.
Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Can I check the CPU temps from Windows? Also, is it safe to use a vacuum cleaner inside the machine? I think that I'm out of compressed air.
How ya doing, buddy?

I didn't notice anything in the event viewer, so it probably overheated somehow.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

LOL. My cpu temp was 86 degrees Celsius. I opened up the case and the fans were filled with dust. I didn't have any compressed air, so I took a chance and vacuumed everything. The fan runs much quieter now.
The cpu is currently at 33 Celsius and the two SATA HDD are at 45 Celsius. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There was so much dust that it was clogging the CPU fan and my Radeon 9800 my mobo something or other. That was too funny. I'm glad that it's running cool now. My Sonata case is actually quiet for once - I can't notice the fan when I'm playing music anymore. It's been a LONG time since that has happened.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
