[color=red]duz any1 know why the heck my computer keeps shutting off when I play an online game? [/color] _________________ Death isn't scary. Dying is the scary because you are not really sure whether to hold on to the strand of life or just to let yourself go free.

Probebly is overheating.
turn it off, unplug it, open it up, and vacuum it out.
and make sure there is room around it for air-flow. |

If you have Windows XP, hold down on F8 to get to the Advanced Options Menu. Then select "Disable Automatic Restart On System Failure" and then select your OS. Then when it starts up continue to play the game. When it crashes again it should tell you why. If not, then you should see if you have dust blocking air flow to the heatsink. and if you are using a high performance graphics card, then you might be overloading your power unit. |
