So during playing battlefield 4 (for about a hour) my PC randomly decides to restart, i hear the game, followed by a buzzing for a couple of seconds. Then it starts back up.. I have updated the graphics card and i have un-rolled the graphics card but it doesn't change anything! i need some help, it is getting rather annoying as i cant play more than 2 games untill my pc restarts and i have to start it all back up :( could someone please try and help me sort out the problem?!

I had a similar problem it is temprature you should try and add extra cooling in eg more fans should solve your issue. When i turned off overclocking on my card it was fine after that it was just a heat issue it was functioning at about 60 degrees very unhealthy for it.

i would recommend getting a fan that can at least get 200 rpm. This will probably solve your problem. Did you oc your computer? This could cause the computer to work to hard and shutdown.

Then perhaps your processor or graphics card may have fried due to the bad heating in your computer. Maybe something is blocking your fan? Is it up against a wall. Or maybe there is something stuck in there like a cookie?

Ok I was just wondering because my toddler once put a cookie in my disc tray and messed the whole thing up. If you have a warranty I would use it. Might as well make sure you get what you paid for.

Yea, I don't know how the air flow in your case is but it's probably pretty bad, You might also have to ditch the cpu cooler, the stock cooler isn't very good as is.

It's Deffo worth getting a cooler especially for Intel processors, stock fan doesn't cut it, I've got 20-24 degrees lower while gaming with a corsair h55 and it only cost me £40, then again I got discount because I work at pcworld
