I had that problem with a computer about less than three but more than two years ago. Sadly I didn't figure out what was wrong with it and I lost everything on it because one day it finally decided that it no longer wanted to turn on ever again. |

For some reason, my computer randomly shuts off without warning. It doesn't shut down as if you were to go to Start > Shut Down, but it just shuts off. |

well surely if it's turning off and sometimes not even turning on again it's a power supply issue. Especially if it is a pre-built computer like a dell since they always use the cheapest power supplies they can which is a bad idea because when a power supply finally goes it can fry everything else with it. |

If it's only a few months old then it should be under warranty. Get the power supply replaced. I don't know what brand you have, but a lot of computers have a battery inside of them to provide just enough power to shut down properly if it loses power, see if you have one. If you do, that probably needs to be replaced too. |

Yeah, turns out it is the power supply... |
|
so your going to buy a replacement power supply? Sounds like a good idea I've seen a video were a guy turns on his pc and smoke comes out and all the components are broken because the power supply broke. |
