I was playing guild wars 2 then my computer completely crashed, at first it wouldn't boot up. I reseated my memory and restarted my PC it started up but now it won't completely shut down, it just sits kinda at like a stand-by but you can't come off of it an you have to shut down the computer from the PSU.

Help please. :(
 
Solution
if the mb locked up in the game it can still be locked up. when asus mb have that issue or the shutdown/restart issue. you have to turn the pc off and unplug the pc from the wall. then clear the cmos. if you still have an issue check that your mb has the newest bios on it.

its only at 51 degrees and the card is up to date

Solution


Is the 51 degrees under load (while playing games) or idle?

You can set both programs to run in the background and track a period of time. Start it tracking and then try playing the game and see if it spikes.

thank you, I reformatted in hopes it'd help fix something maybe the nvidia problem. I still get the crashes as stated before with shut downs and restarts. Tomorrow I will try and attempt to reset the CMOS

would I just pull it off and then attach it back on? or do I need to get a new battery?
