My computer is restarting whenver I play games. I took it to a shop and they ran it overnight with a benchmark program and it never overheated or restarted. I have uninstalled my current drivers and reinstalled older ones that worked in the past, and I am still having issues. My first though is heating issues, but as far as I can tell the card hasn't been overheating. I also don't see a pattern in what games are causing the restarts. Fallout New Vegas, Far Cry 3, Pay Day 2, all of them.

I actually just went through and cleaned out my computer. I even went through and installed new virus protection software and rescanned my computer. I cleaned out the computer as well. Would swapping out the graphics card tell me anything?

Forgot to add my comuter specs....

CPU: Intel Core i7 K 875 @ 2.93GHz
Motherboard: Asus P7P55D-E
RAM: dont remember
GPU: AMD RADEON HD XFX Stealth 7970
PSU: dont remember

Thats the best I can do for now till I get the chance to get to my computer and open it up or check the boxes and such.
