EDIT: My little sister was playing Roblox and the same thing happened to her so this is happening with other games.
I'll try to explain exactly what I do and what happens. So I have my computer on and it's running fine. I click Mass Effect 1 (I've even tried running as admin) and it opens regularly. I resume my game and walk around for a bit, maybe shoot a couple people and then my compute restarts. ABSOLUTELY NO indicator that this is about to happen. It doesn't freeze, the audio doesn't loop, I get no error messages it just restarts as if I pressed the restart button. I've checked my temperatures and my gpu and cpu are at about 40 sometimes even less. I've checked my task manager and I'm not even close to full load for my cpu or memory (probably 50% at max). My graphics card driver is up to date.
I did have troubles with my RAM at first but then they went away. I'm suspecting my RAM may be the problem but I'm not sure if this can happen because of bad RAM.
My computer is a little over a week old, I built it myself.
The specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (genuine) OEM
CPU: AMD FX 4130 quadcore 3.8ghz (not OCed)
MOBO: ASUS M5A97R2.0
RAM: 2x4gb G.Skill RipjawsX ddr3 1600
GPU: Sapphire HD7770 OC edition 1gb of gddr5
PSU: XFX Pro 550w 80 plus bronze
HDD: WD Blue 1tb 64mb cache sata 6.0gb/s OEM
DVD: Asus DVD RW OEM
The Mass Effect I'm using IS NOT pirated and it came with ME2 and ME3 in a trilogy set.
I've been able to play Combat Arms and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 without this happening although they are not as graphically "intense".
Please help.
