Computer restarts when playing games

gotchu_fam · Apr 28, 2017

Hi, my computer restarts when I play any game. it happens once or twice a week usually when playing WoW or Overwatch.

my specs are
AMD FX-6300
8 gigs of ram
1050ti
750w EVGA Bronze Power supply.

the power supply was an upgrade after assuming the issue was that, it still restarts with the new psu
the video card is also fairly new.
I dont know what to look for in the event viewer I have a few errors here and there no clue what they mean other than they're errors. lol
please help, thanks fam

Sounds like a overheating issue to me, Make sure your PC has proper ventilation.

I don't think its overheating because at its highest point its at 65c for the processor

Check the memory for error with Memtest

Bad memory or bad PSU is usually the cause.
Filter the Event viewer logs by 'critical' events and post here the relevant lines. Should be one event happening right as PC rebooted.

Something like this:

Windows logs-> system
then on the right side of the screen, select 'Filter current log'. Only tick Critical and click OK.
After that, rightclick the Critical events-> Event properties (General tab) and see what they say. Google the whole line if it makes no sense to you.
