Computer STILL switching off randomly

No, dont turn on the pc until you have properly refitted the graphics card...
If this fails to stop the shutting down, try replacing the ATI with the old card that came with the pc (as long as you still have it). If the problem only occurs with the ATI card in, then it's more than likely the ATI card at fault :(

Make sure to earth yourself Before touching Any components.

What happens if i turn my pc on without the graphics card in?
 
God WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. The fan isn't even directly on the pc its just blowing on the side of the pc (its case is off) I turn off the fan and like 3 minutes later it switches off, I ****ING HATE THIS PC. Im such a ****ing retard for buying this piece of ****ing junk for £640, 640 wasted jesus CHRIST
 
Well.. i think thats it guys, my HD4670 is causing the problems, not enough cooling or something? i Put my Geforce 120 back in and it isn't switching off... Hmm, not yet anyway.

What now?

EDIT: Forget that, its still switching off even with my old graphics card...

Well that's me confused, I thought you threw the old card away?



Do you know anyone who know's anything about building PC's? If you don't, just take it to a local store and ask them to check it over. It shouldn't cost that much and will at least mean you don't have to take anything apart in your system.

I thought i did but i put it into my HD4670 packaging ^^

Hmm.. having to spend more money on this piece of crap.. :( i dont want to ask my dad to take me to a store with it.. too much hassel.
 
Guys... Hahaha, i think i possibly know what was wrong with it (although its only been on for a few minutes)

There was huge amounts of dust in the main fan (that cools the motherboard, i think?) I cleaned it all out with a wooden toothpick, lets hope this solves it and it doesn't switch off..
