Hello, I was playing the video game L4D on my older desktop with Win. 10 and after playing for about 1 hour my computer rebooted itself and after trying to play L4D again it rebooted itself again almost immediately. Is this probably some kind of cooling issue? My guess is I need a newer power supply since most of my parts in this computer are hand me downs from my main gaming desktop. I don't know if it helps but it is also dual booted with Linux and I have a Nvidia GTS 660Ti as my graphics card. Also my CPU is a core 2 duo.
-Thanks

I don't think I got a blue screen of death, it just reboots without any warning. I've haven't spent a lot of time on it since.
