I would suspect a heat issue with the CPU or a failing Memory stick. Is the CPU heat sink in full contact with the CPU chip?

Try swapping out the memory sticks one at a time - this will help identify if one of the memory modules is bad.

CPU is not getting heated up. I touched all the parts like Processor, chips on the motherboard, hard disc... These parts are warm that's it.

I tried playing games keeping the CPU case open, still system is shutting down. I have tried with my cousin's PC RAM (1GB) still system is shutting down. I have a single RAM of 2GB.

For your information system is shutting down while running programs in Turbo C/C++. My monitor is 19" Wide screen.

Pls Suggest

Hi,

The problem is solved.

The problem is due to dust on Processor (bottom portion). I just removed the processor from the motherboard and cleaned the dust and fitted back to motherboard.

No I am happy that no more problems of system shutdown :)
