computer specs:
motherboard: asus P5KPL-CM
CPU: intel pentium dual CPU E2200 (2.2 ghz)
graphics card: nvidia geforce 9800gt
PSU: 450W
RAM: 2gb
windows XP professional
My computer has been recently shutting down without warning when playing games, it does one of two things. It either restarts and boots normally again straight away or it shuts down completely and it doesn't turn it back on for a few minutes (sometimes an hour). I don't think it is overheating because the case doesn't feel very hot at all so I think it might be the power supply or some other part of the computer which may have failed. The problem only started after i installed the new graphics card which is currently in the computer, before this i just had some intel graphics chip which came standard with the motherboard.
