    Hey guys, I'm having a problem whenever i double click a folder where i save recently downloaded files my computer just automatically cuts power off. It's really weird, it also happens when i X Internet explorer. It won't even shut down correctly, the computer just cuts power completely and then restarts.

    It's funny because it doesn't do it when I X firefox and it also doesn't do it when i double click on older folders. Really weird. Have any of you guys run into this or now how to prevent this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Try hitting (quite hard but not really lots) the top back of the case when the computers just idle might be a PSU issue.
    Also run scandisk it fixes suprsingly lots.
    finally bring up task manager CPU usage see whether the CPU usage gets high before it cuts out.
