My PC shuts down after some time if I start games and defragmentation or antivirus simultaneously or use factory format.

I have overclocked my PC to 3.4 ghz (AMd Quad core) and the temp are normally around 40-55 degrees

download something like a realtemp and log the cpu temps and graphics card temps while you do multitasking. probably something is overheating which causes the system shut down.

Overheating or PSU issues generally

Do try to check if removing the overclock is making the machine more stable

Hi Rohitshakti2,


I am glad to help you out. Based on your post, it may be a hardware issue. To confirm the possible reason, why PC is shutdown by itself. There are possible reasons like high temperature, MOBO, RAM, HDD or PSU causing the issue. I give you some basic troubleshooting steps. It may help you to solve the issue.

• Remove the Overclocking.
  
  
• Try to install Real-temp software. It will help to monitor the temperature of the system. If temperature is more than 40c, so I'd recommend you to add the cooling system.
  
  
• Download HD-tunes or DLG software to check the HDD. If possible, try different HDD with same MOBO.
  
  
• Try different RAM or MOBO to make sure that the problem is with the RAM or with the MOBO.
  
  
• Try different PSU to make sure that the problem is with power or with hardware.
  

Hope it helps.

remove or decrease the OC. it's obviously unstable.
