G'day,
I recently acquired a second-hand gaming computer.
It's an ASUSTeK Rampage III Extreme, and runs an Intel Core i7 930 Quad Core CPU with two Radeon HD 6970 graphics cards in crossfire. It's water-cooled and even in intense gaming never goes past 50 degrees Celsius on any of the CPU's.
Yet, when playing games like World of Tanks and Empire at War, it restarts without warning during gameplay or when loading levels. On The Old Republic, it cannot even get to the server select screen - it restarts every time it tries to load.
It is not overclocked at all and is running on stock speeds. This is getting really annoying - I can't run any relatively new games at all (Jedi Outcast and Faster Than Light seem to work fine though) without my computer restarting.
Interestingly, some days, this problem seems to magically go away on one game (World of Tanks), but stay around for the others. The computer NEVER restarts like this when I am not playing games.
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm frankly sick of it.
