Hi All,

My computer has been randomly shutting down (turning straight off, no windows shutting down message). Generally when I'm playing games.

Looking into it most forums are saying this is due to overheating. Ive taken a snapshot of my temps on Open Hardware Monitor below (cant workout how to post pics). Can anyone provide any info whether or not my temperatures are normal or too high?

Yeah I was running generally what I had running when it shuts down.

Looking more into it. Could this be a graphics card related problem?

I've had the same card since I got the computer a few years back. It's only Raedon 6700 series 1g. So pretty outdated maybe it can't handle newish games?
