Why does my PC keep turning off without warning?
An overheating power supply, due to a malfunctioning fan, can cause a computer to shut down unexpectedly. Continuing to use the faulty power supply can result in damage to the computer and should be replaced immediately. Software utilities, such as SpeedFan, can also be used to help monitor fans in your computer.

Why does my GPU randomly shut down and then restart?
S.T.Roker, that would suggest that your power supply is slightly undersized for your video card. With everything on Ultra, it’s working so hard that it’s pulling more power than the supply can provide, and the power supply regulation gets rocky. And you have a surge, followed by a surge protection shutdown and a surge warning on reboot.
Why does my computer randomly reboot without a BSoD?
If the computer just reboots without a BSOD or anything (except if you perhaps have BSOD disabled?), then it is most certainly a hardware problem.
Why won’t my video card turn on?
You could also have a video card that has been damaged because it didn’t get enough power, which is an issue known as brown-out burn. Replace the power supply. Update the firmware. Update the drivers. If the issue doesn’t go away, bad video card. Thats right the card you are trying to use is a power hungry monster.
Why is my mx-200 not working on my PC?
If your mobo was dieing then the MX-200 (your friends) card won’t work in your PC AND your BIOS would beep on start-up (a series of beeps) in the case of either card. Conclusion: the monitor and card are not connecting together well. Cheers. Hey Madman thanks.
