Hi Guys,
I've been having an issue with my pc completley turning off - usually when playing games. I thought i had sorted it after following cin19's solution from a previous post:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1820754/ssd-causing-unknown-crashing.html#xtor=EPR-8809
However, the issue has come back. After about an hour or less of playing, my computer just turns itself off, and i cant turn it back on again for a good 10 minutes or so. Since the time of the post above, the only thing i have done since, is try some new ram (2x 4gb) - which didnt work, so i reverted back to what i was using.
For a while after this though, my computer had been fine, playing games for hours on end. The problem has come back out of the blue and i've no idea why.
Any suggestions would be vastly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
