Okay usually sudden power downs are:
Overheating -or- Bad Power supply But since you mentioned it does it during chatting and surfing I'd suggest you download Spybot, AdAware or another spyware scanner and check for spyware, particularly Gator. I don't know maybe you are already doing this. |

FYI : Gator is now Claria it has changed its name http://asia.cnet.com/newstech/security/0,39001150,39156467,00.htm The issue is more then likely going to be a power supply issue and the reason it is happening when you surf or chat is because there is more strain on processor to run those applications.

it happened once while i was gaming..
i have adaware, and i'll run that again, but i went to symtec and checked for virus and whatnot.. nothing. and the one little fan that burnt out.. its been out before i've had these problems and nothing has happened. only thing i could think of is the power supply is going bad.. maybe |
