Hello.
I have a problem with my computer that I hope someone can help me with. The problem is – when I play games (especially demanding games) the computer shuts down. Either is freeze, or otherwise the screen turns blue. It almost never happens when I’m surfing around in windows, but as soon I start playing, does it shuts down within 20 – 30 minutes. Really hope somebody have a clue about – what the problem could be.
And by the way, I´m using XP. And the problems is not the temperatures in the CPU or GFX, I have checked that.

Regards coopers.

Koolance PC3-720SL
eVGA Geforce 8800GTS - 640 MB
Intel Core 2 Quad - Q6600 - 8 MB - 2,4 Ghz
Kingston HyperX - 4GB - DDR2

I would start off by making sure the RAM is working correctly. Kingston HyperX RAM take a very high amount of voltage to run correctly. Which exact model RAM do you have? Did you manually set the RAM speed/timings/voltage to the recommended specs in the BIOS? Have you run Memtest86+ overnight to test for RAM errors?
