Ok ill publish this and then I will edit to ensure it's the length i want...
So Im pretty decent at putting together factory made computer parts, with the instruction manual, but I dont really know what the problem is with my computer. It was a frankenstein; i got most of my parts new from Frys Electronics.
I will be happy to provide a list of my parts if someone could assist me in finding that information (cause im not going to take the computer apart just to know what brand of every item is installed?)
I like to play videogames with high pull on my resources, such as Starcraft2, and although at medium settings my graphics are pretty good and my FPS is good (60FPS) if im running anything else in the background its inevetable that in a few minutes or a few hours my computer will just randomly shut down in the middle of games. Especially with Starcraft, Youtube, and voice chat.
Any help is appreciated!
TL;DR Noob wants to fix his computer by identifying which parts are out of date and which are still OK.
