Hi,
I've got a problem with my computer turning itself off when playing MW3 and WoW, and only those two games. This is rather a recent problem. I've played both games before with the same PC, but suddenly it just turns itself off. I've replaced the PSU, reading that this could be a potential source for the computer turning itself off.
But now, after I replaced the PSU, the computer is still shutting itself down for no reason.
I can also add that it does NOT shut down as soon as I enter a game, but at random times while in-game.
I don't think this is a temperature issue. I've been monitoring my temperature while in-game, and the CPU on all cores is @ 45 - 60 degrees celcius while gaming.
The graphics card I have shows 50 degrees celcius while gaming.
I bought and assembled the computer myself in 2009. And have not done anything (hardware wise) since then. Only updated the drivers.
My hardware specs is:
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage II Extreme - Intel X58
PSU: Corsair AX 1200W
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 @3.07GHz
Memory: Corsair Dominator DHX+ DDR3 1600MHz 6GB
Graphics Card: XFX GeForce GTX 295 576M 1792MB PhysX
HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor® 150GB + WD Caviar® GreenPower™ 1TB
Running @ Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bits
Please if someone know an awnser to this, Im all open for suggestions!
Thanks!
