The issues started after my PSU blew out and I replace it with a new one, the computer will restart or shutdown without turning on again by itself when I play games such as: World at War, MW2 or CS:GO, but not when I play Garry's Mod or CS:S. Now, I was told in a post on the steam community that the problem lied with the BIOS not being compatible with the applications, so I updated it to the latest version but the problems continue.
I've checked the CPU temps when games are not running and when they are, all under 40 degrees.
My thoughts were that I may have not correctly installed my PSU, but then again it should restart without a game.
As you can guess this is very frustrating and I need to get this solved as its been about 2 months now with the problem without any solution.
PC Specs:
- AMD FX-4170 Quad-Core 4.2 GHz
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- Windows 8 64 Bit
- GTX 660 EVGA
- GA-78LMT-USB3 - F4
I thank you before hand, Chris.
