I have a homebuilt pc, i've bought it 5 yrs ago. From the past 2 months i am getting random restarts when I play games. But my pc did not restart while playing Counter Strike 1.6. My PC does not restarts while using internet or just browsing the computer.

My PC specs:

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.50Ghz
Intel DG41RQ MotherBoard
Seagate 500 Gb HDD 7200rpm (2 months old)
Transcend 2GB DDR2 RAM (6 months old)
Intel G41 Express Chipset 812mb
Windows 8 32bit

I have used HWmonitor. My PC is not overheating.
I also have disabled "Restart automatically" when something wrong happens in the Advanced System settings. I have all the latest Windows updates as well.

Please HELP!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE :D :)

Zebronics is one of those dreaded tier-5 brands - PSUs that are not designed anywhere near their specifications, are known to grossly under-perform even when brand-new and often cause tons of trouble including killing computer components when they fail.

You definitely want to replace it - it is well past its prime assuming it ever had such a thing.
