Hi Guys,
I've been in a real pickle with my computer for ages now, and i've gone round the shops trying to fix it. The issues began after installing an SSD and migrating windows onto it from a HDD. What began happening was my computer would completely turn off after about half an hours worth of playing games (DotA 2 for example). I would have to wait a while and unplug the power etc before the computer would turn back on.
After updating the bios, and everything else i could find to update, I thought i had eventually found the issue by installing a decent fan onto my CPU, and that seemed to stop the issues for a while. The problems however have returned. I've monitored temps on both gpu and cpu and they both appear completely fine.
Unless anyone has any suggestions, i'm considering reformatting, and either going back to using just a HDD or trying this fresh install on the SSD - depending on the answers i hopefully get from this post.
A few questions:
COULD my SSD be the root of my issues (pc turning off during playing games) despite everything running outside of playing games?
Or is there no way my SSD could be related to these issues?
I would VASTLY appreciate any help, as this has been a real pain over a long time now.
Thank you Very much for any help or suggestions at all!
Cheers,
Rich
