Sudden shutdown

yea nowt to worry about,
and spybot probs just found tracking cookies, i dont find they do any harm but might aswell clear them up once in a while.
 
Like everyone has said above, it was definitely a Power thing. I know you go to a PC shop near your house, check out how much they sell UPS (Uninterpretable Power Supply) units for.

Those things are great. I bought one after a brown out fried my power supply. I can here it click in to the battery to power my computer about one second before the power flashes at my house.

Another reason i hat my friend so much , he had a UPS and when we had a power cut in our area i rung him to see how he was cos i was kinda bored and he's still there browsing the web
 
you should make it so your monitor turns off after 15-30min. that way it dosent give out. had this happen to me shortly after i took over my familys old 17". now im stuck with a 15" :(

Yeah, but the cable-modem and main router are by my parents computer and not on a UPS, so my computer will be on, but I'm very limited on what I can do with it.
 
All it takes is enough for the lights to dim and the computers go off at my house. But I am thinking about investing in some UPS units. Can't go wrong with those!
Where do you live?, it's a little like that where I live on the Isle of Wight, England.

Uninterpretable power supplies can be anywhere from £40 to about £150 + i dunno how they work though they have a rating i dunno weather its to do with your systems load like the power supply rating maybe another member can help here . If you go to the same shop you always do he should know your computer inside out and be able to tell you which rating to buy

His only lasted about 20minutes but the power cut lasted about 30 so he was happy i guess . Also he didnt have a router he only has one pc in his house so he just uses a usb powered modem.The only reason i want one is to protect my hard drives from power cuts
 
Ive been running a UPS for years now, its a Belkin, APS are a good brand aswell.

raffaz, havent seen you around much lately.
i personally dont feel the need to spend a lot of money on stuff like this. especially when they are fairly low end specs. i have a power surge protector on my plugs and if i see its bad weather outside i backup my work anyway, and once the powers gone i will just unplug my pc's from the wall.
