For some reason my computer keeps randomly restarting when playing intensive games. Please help? GPU: GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC CPU: FX-4300 PSU: 500W. I tried to install new drivers and clean out dust out of fans. Fans work fine and everything is connected properly. I have no clue what this could be and I'm very stressed out about it please help. Thanks! :)

Hello... IF you have all Kernel 41 then... Windows OS was not Powered Down properly... and I would put my Meter to the PS and voltages etc... Check over Power connection to devices... etc...
1) It could be a HARDWARE problem causing the PS to shutdown from "high" current or Temperature.
2) You could have also have a MB Power chips failing under heat or Load... B /
3) you could have a drive/card going "power" bad?

Thanks for the quick response. This has been happening for around 2 months now on and off so I don't think it's the summer weather. And how do you check the cpu/gpu temp? Sorry I'm new to pc gaming so yeah. And also 1 more question how do I get into the BIO's health screen? Thanks in advance :)

Hello... Yes... Thx B / if these are Windows crashes ... there will be a LOG of them to look out... When you have time look here for a reason ok? B /

You NEED to be logged on as administrator to the OS...

let's see what the OS is reporting as the error... Right click computer-manage-System Tools-Windows logs-system.... Click on the "RED" errors, for more information... and files/drivers/Apps, comments/suggestions/information associated with them B )

Posting screen images from here will help me, help you faster... But copy and posting text will work too B )

Unless where you live is very cold, these temperatures are wrong. Try downloading RealTemp and see what that gives you. If it's straight shutting down with no bluescreen or errors, I would say overheating or power brown outs.

For your CPU to be 9c while idle, the ambient air temperature would have to be at least a few degrees colder than that, with a good CPU cooler.

Hello... OK you got Good EYE's for me here... great pics B ) ok the error you've shown me is "Kernel 41" this means the OS was NOT shut down properly... A hardware or Typically, a user HIT the power switch on the Power Supply because of a OS freeze... is this correct? are you resetting Windows using the Power switch? B /... We will not be concerned at this error/step, in Our OS investigation at this time.

What I needs your EYE's on next is... all "Critical errors" that occurred outside of the OS files... So I need some screen shots of NON Windows APPS that theses errors "Caused" or point to... OK B /
