Hello folks, recently my computer shut down every time I run heavy graphics, including flash, 1080p video, and of course, video games. The thing is, it's been running just fine in the last 2 years. I used to playing hard-core games at highest setting. I went on a 2-month trips and didn't touch the computer. When I got back, it started acting up. Here are what I've observed:
-I made no change in software/hardware whatsoever.
-It run fine on regular basis (web browsing, facebook games)
-I've monitored the temperature. When it shut down, the CPU, GPU, HDD's temp are normal, nothing faulty.
-It shut down and restarted immediately, as if I pressed the reset button. No warning, no blue screen.
-happened 100% every time I run video game
I don't think it's has anything to do with the graphic card. I've monitored many times and every time there is nothing unusual on temperature or speed. My best bet is the power supply. Thank you, any comments are welcome.
My specs: i5 3.2Ghz, 4gb RAM, Radeon HD7970.
