Hi, I've been having this problem for some time now. Whenever I'm playing games, within 5-10 minutes my computer would crash and restart. This happens with any game and only while playing games. I can surf the internet and watch movies without a problem. I'm currently running Windows 8, but I've already tested my system with Windows 7 and the same thing occurs. I've tried reinstalling the OS multiple times, but still nothing. I've tried about five different video cards of the same make and model, but the problem still occurs. I also tried running the hard drive on IDE and AHCI. I even tried a known to be stable hard drive that I've gamed on before, but the problem continues. I've tried swapping out the RAM with known to be stable RAM, but again it continues. I have had the system powered under a different PSU, again the same things happens. I'm left to believe that the problem may be the Motherboard, which I believe might be damaged due to the previous crashings. It might also be damaged due to a previous unstable hard drive that used to crash minutes into start up. I've noticed that in my Event Viewer, there are many warnings, errors, and critical errors. I guess for now I need a way to test my motherboard for defects. Any ideas on how to do that? Thanks by the way.
