Answer to your computer shuts down randomly

Posted by: mercury51

I have gone to many forums and this seems to be a common problem if you have an ATI video card. I narrowed it down to if i install any ATI video drivers my computer would shut down in a few mins after boot up. Its not over heating. I would let it sit for days and it would do the same thing. I checked all the hardware. It was working as it should. So i updated my bios and chipset drivers to the lastest versions. Mine were a version old. I just now installed the lastest ATI drivers version 5.4 and so far so good. its been on for several hours now and nothing.

actually it just the sign of a hardware failure, whether bad ram, or driver issue.

thats all

You know, computers without ATI cards shut down randomly sometimes too.

that product does nothing for viruses, so why would you assume an anti virus would do what that does?
