Hello all, so I have this issue here with my pc. My specs are:
Gpu- nVidia Geforce gtx 650 ti 1 gb, cpu- intel 2 quad core 2,33ghz, ram- 2x2gb, os win7 64bit. if need further details just tell me. Problem is, whenever I try to launch any game, total war rome 2, mafia 2, ot even counter strike source, game starts, but sooner or later (maximum 3-5 mins) pc restarts. There are no sounds, nothing, just immediate restart. It is very strange, bcz it does not seem like overheating or smth like that. I have turned off auto restart in performance and startup section in administrative tools control panel. Even when I set my games to lowesr settings it restarts. Strange, but i can play on medium settings and pc don't cause any lag or struggling when running games, it just restarts. Very strange is that about a month ago i was able to run bigger games like gta5 or far cry 4 on low-medium settings with almost no lag and pc would not restart, just 3 weeks ago it started to do that, so i started playing lower and lower games until i cannot even play cs 1.6 on low settings without a restart. Wonder if super mario would cause restart, too :D
 
Solution
Older system, could be just about anything, failing power supply, failing video card, motherboard, maybe RAM. Need to start testing the parts with what you can. Try with different RAM, try another video card or test yours in another system, try a known good quality power supply.
