PC restarts during game play

[edisdaboss]

I been having this problem for while now, it started when i put new ram, my computer would restart durring the game play, so i put my old ram back and same problem so it doesnt look like ram, I can be on comp watching you tube all day and it would not shuts down or restart so in my opinion its not PSU, I ran few stress tests and nothing works fine, I really wanna get to bottom of this so i can enjoy my game times insted of being pissed. All the temps seems right just the CPU runs at 60 on stock speeds, I have reinstalled heatsink I have dusted the case, I have checked my event log and I do have Kernel-Power event 41 error,and thats the only critical,
My guess is Video card so i have concated Nevida for help and they told me same old bull reinstall drivers and did all that and they are asuming that its PSU if its PSU then it would shut down i left comp 2 days and never turned off, It only restarts when I play games i can play somethimes 3 hours and its fine after restart another 10-20 min I really cant tell , SO if you guys can help me out , it would be nice

my built
CPU:E8550
ram:i think pirtate Gseris 2x2gb=4gb mem
mother board: GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4
PSU:antec 850w
Video card: GTX 275

Remove the video card & then try playing through on-board graphics. Post back the results.

Agreed: First place to check is without the GFX card. There's a certain range of Nvidia cards that I know several people who had troubles with them, namely that the fan had failed. For low-resource things, they weren't having any problems, but as soon as they kicked into highgear, it would insta-overheat and fail.

Two other things to check:

1. You mentioned removing/replacing the heatsink. Did you remember to apply fresh thermal paste?

2. PSU could be getting flakey and failing under high draw.

yea it might be your graphics card becuase its turning off from something overheating so either your graphics card fan (if it has one is broken like mine did) or your cpu is overheating

also i was looking at my event loger and memory.DMb

Yes I put new fresh thermal paste

Wininit.exe is an essential background process.When it fails then there is something seriously wrong with your system.Since when is this problem happening?.If its happening of late then run a virus scan.Some worms target wininit.exe.If you're sure its not a virus then try and run system restore.
