My Pc has started to turn itself off for no reason. If I am using my PC it is fine, but within 5 minutes or so of being idle with or without any programs running it will turn itself off and re-boot. I have “googled” this problem but so far have not found a solution. Will reformatting “C” drive cure this problem and if so how do I do it? Please don’t get too technical as I am not an expert. Thanks in anticipation of any replies in advance
