Why is our Dell shutting off?
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2016 6:45 pm
I received the announcement a week ago to leave the clerk computer on all the time for the Win 10 upgrade, which I did. However, every time I come back and check on it (after one or more days), it's powered off. Any idea why?
- I don't think someone else is powering it off -- we have a sign on it to leave it on
- At first I thought it was just a power blip (after some thunderstorms), but it's happened 3 or 4 times now
- I checked the power settings, nothing in there indicates that the computer will be automatically turned off
Can anyone think of a reason why the computer would be shutting down? Overheating, maybe? (It *is* July in North Carolina, after all : - ) It's a Dell Optiplex 7010. I checked the event log, didn't see anything obvious.
