    Computer shutting off.

    Right off the bat, I'm not too big on hardware.

    I moved my computer (Along the same wall, different outlet) to a new location and ever since then it runs for 30-45 minutes and shuts off.

    I checked tempatures, CPU was around ~40C and the GPU was around ~45C, so I'm not sure if it's an overheating issue. I also checked any loose connections etc. Could it be the Power Supply? If that's not it I'm guessing it's faulty hardware some where.

    Any suggestions?

    Could it be that the outlet itself has an problem is carrying a consistent stream of electricity?

    If it worked from one outlet but not another, there is where I would start.

    Can you move it back for a hour or so to test?

    I thought that too, but it doesn't matter which outlet. I tried from 2 different outlets, including the original.

    Re: Computer shutting off.

    Is the computer going through the shutdown process or just powering off all together?

    Powering off all together.

    I've taken a side panel off the case and put a fan next to it, so far it hasn't powered off. We'll see.

    sounds like your CPU is more than likely over heating do you have a or a cpu fan? if not i'd get one its probally one of your best bets try it see if it still shuts off with the cpu fan installed
