My computer used to do this, but it stopped randomly. What might be the cause for these random shutdowns? Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/27165-random-computer-shutoffs/

Including (from what I remember) shutting down their computer and opening the disk tray. Hahaha epic stuff. If she isn't on CZ when it happens though, I would guess... Loose connections?

IF she wasn't lying to you, her computer is overheating. But since she is, she's just signing off of skype, broseph.

Comon, she isn't just signing off, I've been over there and it's shut off on me several times and it says call dropped, not ended.

You just happened to hit it. She's lying to you bro. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/27165-random-computer-shutoffs/#findComment-330456
