Well, I was playing MS, when I ALT+Tabbed it, then went on Sleepywood.net. After I was done searching, I was about to go back on MS, but my computer suddenly turned off. When I tried turning it on, it turns off after three seconds, and its turning itself back on again! (Then off, AGAIN) Does anyone know how to fix this problem? The fan turning on and off is getting really annoying, and I need my computer to be fixed. Thanks EDIT: When it turns off, it stays on the "Logging off" screen for like, 5 minutes. Just telling because it might have something to do with that

Your graphics card/motherboard is overheating. It shuts itself off to prevent damage. Contact your manufacturer for information on your model it could be a problem with all models.

I read stuff about it on another website, it said stuff I didn't understand though. EDIT: @ the guy above me. I'm using my sisters computer.

I don't know. Try leaving your computer off for a day or something. Turn off the switch at the back of your computer.

How do you even get on basil and type all that in 5 minutes. OT: Try buying one of the mini fans for your computer. My cousins comp had the some problem, so he took off the cover and put a real fan next to it. It worked fine (but he bought a new comp later anyway)

Can you tell me the manufacturer and model number of your computer? Also, laptop or desktop?

It doesn't say anything there, it's just the restart button, and the turn on button. I can tell you what it says on the DVD and CD slot.

i think it's really overheating does it goes BSOD or just turns off? if it just turns off it could be mostly overheating try cleaning the fan with canned air. if you have vista you can press windows button + pause and it will display the basics btw just try to leave it for a while off.... if you want unwired but it's not nesesary if it works after 30 mins it was overheating if not you'll need to get professional assistance if it's something else
