PC Turns Off

[Appolo Jupiter]

Hello people! new member here. I’ve got this problem on my Pc it automatically turns off dead and that happens only when I play Wolverine origins or GTA but whn I don’t play it works properly. I went through both games and Pc worked great so im sure it not about graphics or Ram cs ive got 512 mb 8600 super of video and 2 gb of Ram and both games work great, but then it suddenly started to turn of dead. it could be the over heat problem, my processor has that thing that turns it off when overheat, but im not sure if htats the reason and even if it is don know hot to check it or fix it. Ill be extremely grateful if you could help me. TNX in advance.

I think the best way to fix it would be to do a Barrel Roll.

But seriously, sounds like an overheat.
Thinking your computer can't run it, tries very hard, fails miserably, so turns itself off.
I honestly have no idea.

1. don't open new topics in already made threads - it's annoying and its breaking the rules - open your own thread for that

2. get a monitoring program that keeps an eye on your computer's temperatures. SpeedFan is a good program that can help you - it tells you core temperature along with HDD and a few other temps around the computer case with sensors around them.

then when you play the game - occasionally tab out to see how much the temperature changes - if it is an overheating problem, I'd recommend you get more Fans and Heatsinks for your computer (or better ones at least) because your computer resetting due to over heating shortens the life span of most of the parts you have in there

otherwise try to down-clock your CPU through bios and see if that helps. Downclocking shouldn't be too much of a problem for you if you have more than one core in there.

This is a easy question if you think about it.

Your PC sounds new and strong so something must not be compatible
Which makes it shutdown. or forced to shutdown due to heat. Like linux said check out your temps.


Its got to be one of them.

Sounds new?
No - it sounds like he has some decent parts.

My PC is over a year old, and it's way better than what he just described. Lol.

In my expertise, I agree with everything Linux said.

awww
when did you unblock me?

By new I mean fresh and up to date.

When I decided it was more fun making fun of the ridiculous things you say.
And it's a 'decent' system.

And obviously not fresh if it keeps shutting down on him. Lol...

Obviously that leads to compatibility problems or heating problems.


as I said before...

his pc doesn't sound new at all. but you can't tell without getting names and models of parts - the 8600 vid card is pretty old - I have it, almost 2 years old now

another possibility is a motherboard problem - the heat could be triggering the motherboard to reset and resetting the motherboard like that is never good. any idea on what kind of mobo you have?

imo, the mobo is the worst thing to change - you have to remove everything which is annoying...

otherwise play on another computer...cheapest and best solution (assuming you have other computers in the house)

Well Stop pissing on my computer its not old and its quite strong I specially bought it to fly on video games but it was 1.5 years ago so I agree its not new Sadly I don’t know which mobo I have linux but ill check it out. by now ill download that prog u suggested me to check the heat. I hope itll work out some how. Tanx all for help.
