i need help my pc shuts down ONLY when i play games, put when i browse the internet its fine.
i have dual screen and
my specs are:

GPU (Graphics Card): GeForce GT 320

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz

Memory: 8.00 GB RAM (7.99 GB usable)

Current resolution: 1280 x 1024 60Hz (main screen for my dual screen setup)

Driver version: 340.57

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

those are my specs, and i hope you guys know what to do.
my PC never used to do this but after summer vacation it just randomly started. so ya thats it and hope you guys know the solution.

I have a Citeon 350W PSU The only other thing i can say is that I couldn't find anything on the internet about this company. (this is a prebuilt gateway computer :/)

EDIT: I have come back after almost 3 years and there is still no answer, the good news is that i have fixed the problem and i hope this helps even though its a pretty expensive problem to fix (unless you have a gt 320 xD)

FIX : If you can, the best fix is to get a new gpu, otherwise, try clearing your CMOS and reseting your BIOS.
