Hello to everyone. I've been having this problem that my PC shuts itself down automatically after playing at most 3 minutes of PC games. Most specifically Amnesia and Resident Evil 4.
A week ago, I was having this problem too. Most specifically with Resident Evil 4 and emulated PS2 games. I seem to have fixed the problem back then. I unmounted the iso's using Daemon Tools and that seem to have fixed the problem. I was able to play PC games for almost 5 days without any problem at all. (plus I have Chrome browser on, and not shutting down probs at all).
But now, it's happening again to Resident Evil 4 and a newly installed game: Amnesia. I noticed this started happening after installing and playing Dead Space. I'm not sure if it's an overheating problem because I turned the computer off and left it off for 3 hours. When I turned it on to play Amnesia and RE4, I was shocked that the 'shutting down automatically' problem occurred again.
Then I did some trial and error... I did not make Leon move (from RE4) at all. I just left him standing to see if it would still crash even though I'm not doing anything. And the PC did crash. When I turned it on again, I downloaded and ran Core Temp and played RE4 on window mode. Here are the temperatures I got while playing it.
Lowest temps:
Core #0: 52°C
Core #1: 57°C
Highest temps:
Core #0: 64°C
Core #1: 67°C
Playing RE4 on window mode with those temperatures seem to have worked. I was able to play for 20 minutes, until I opened Chrome browser. It rose up to:
Core #0: 72°C
Core #1: 75°C
...and the PC shuts down by itself.
I was wondering if what the proper temperature for gaming is? I have a feeling that I can only play games now as long as I don't open my browser.__. Here is my computer btw:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 5000+
2.60 GHz, 1.75 GB of RAM
Thank you and have a good day.
