Computer

Published by at 8:05 am under Personal

I left my new Dell PC running last night when I went to bed since I had uTorrent downloading something. When I woke up this morning, my PC was off. WTF?! And like an idiot, I hit the power button to turn the machine on and walked away. If there were any error messages, I would have likely seen them during the boot-up process. Damn, was that a stupid move or what?

I frankly haven’t a clue now as to why the PC crashed/shut down. I don’t know if it was a heat issue, a software crash, etc.

UPDATE: I have since learned that the neighborhood had a power outage in the middle of the night. Well, that explains things.

    Go into the BIOS and you can change the power settings. There are usually three options for what to do after a power outage- off, on, or resume state.

    I hadn’t thought of trying that.
