PC shutting down unexpectedly due to malware
4.5
Your computer turns off or restarts without warning, often when you try to run a scan.
Symptoms
- Sudden power off
- Restart loop
- Crash during scan
Possible Causes
- Malware sabotage
- Overheating from miner
- System file corruption
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Temperatures
Ensure it's not just overheating from a hidden crypto-miner.
2
Scan in Safe Mode
Malware can't trigger a shutdown if it's not running.
3
Check Event Viewer
Look for "Critical" errors at the time of shutdown.
When to See a Technician
Some malware is programmed to shut down the PC if it detects "Taskmgr.exe" or "Regedit.exe" opening.
