So I have two symptoms that I am encountering now on my desktop.
1rst issue: I have attempted to play three various new game 2012 - and my computer is able to run them. After 5-7 minutes the computer makes a noise and goes to a black screen. Then restarts as if nothing happened. Repeated attempts bring the same results. Old games oddly have no such problem. I am assuming it has something to do with higher demand on my system for new graphics.
Games arent a big priority so I was gonna sit on the issue. However now last day and a half. My computer will restart randomly in normal operating. While I am actually using it and I leave my computer on at night and it is in my bedroom. So last night it start get operate louder and restarted 2 time in quick succession. Now I am getting a little more concerned as it is happening quite frequently.
Reading on these forums:
A likely cause of my issues: is a failing power supply
or I am having fan issues.
How do I figure trouble shoot for either of these? Or does it sound like something else?
