    Random shutdowns leading to hardware issue

    Random shutdowns leading to hardware issue

    Hi I yesterday cleaned the dust out of my PC but after restarting it I seemed to have issues where the PC would just randomly kill itself. I was away from it at the time but upon returning had to restart. I did the same thing twice opening Firefox and running some videos. I was quite surprised...
