i dont know what's wrong. It just happened today. First, it hanged and then it turned off and restarted all by itself... this happened thrice.
and then the same thing happens again only i restarted it all by myself.
is it possible that it over-heated? coz i've been using it like the whole day. and i've just turned it off for like 30mins..
what do i do? help please..

Not sure if your case is the same as mine, but this happened to me a couple months ago. My computer would turn on for around 30 seconds, then it would reboot itself and the cycle continues. I freaked out and thought it was a virus. Then I did a little search online using my laptop and found out it was some file I recently downloaded that was causing the problem.

My solution � turn on the computer and while it�s still in the Windows page (thinking), hit F8 (will prompt to Safe Mode). This allowed me to actually go to my desktop without the computer shutting down. Go to the Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> deleted files I installed. Then restart the computer. Problem solved.

I hope I was able to help you. If not, good luck�

Heat does sound like a possiblity from the failure.
Give it a hour and try again... if it works okay, then it might be time to pop open the case and do some cleaning and check out the fans..

Might be power supply or other overheating but ill be lazy for now and leave it at that issue first for now.

i hope it's just overheating..
okay, i'm gonna observe it for the meantime..
if it's still like that, i guess i'll just reformat it.

THANKYOU SO MUCH YOU BOTH!

Nah, if ti still works then you don't need to format lol

Just means you have to physically clean it... you know dust out the fans and stuff!
