Well i'm posting for my friend, basically he just built his computer today and he installed windows and everything and battlefield badcompany 2 but ever since he tried joining a game his computer keeps turning off like every couple minutes...anyone know what the problem could be?
EDIT: Maybe something was plugged in the wrong slot? Would it even start up if something was?
UPDATE: it stays on as long as he doesnt run anything, as soon as he starts running stuff it crashes... here is his build:
Power Supply: 700W
GFX: XFX HD-587X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5870 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
RAM: CORSAIR XMS 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMX6GX3M3A1333C9
MOBO: EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
EDIT2: um the GPU is plugged into the power supply by 2 6pin cables. also on the mobo the power supply is connected to the mobo in 2 different spots where i circled in red, but for each spot there was 2 cables each (for the one on the right there was a 20 pin plug and a 4 pin plug) and for the one on the left there was 2 four pin plugs...all those are plugged in. also he says the mobo is really hot.
