Hi there, Since November, when I bought a new Aurora R5 with Windows 10 Home 64-bit, I've had a problem of random shutdowns.

Hello, I have an Alienware X51 R2 and it had worked wonders for a couple of years. A couple months ago it started to fail: it booted up, immediately shut down by itself and on again, and off again, and so on until I powered it down by pressing for 10 seconds the power button. That started to hap
