[cjsadlerr]

I have a 2x4gb ram ddr3
Amd a8 5600k apu

When im in a game i play for 5 minutes and then it randomly turns off. Once when i turned it back on it said something to do why my dedicated gpu saying that gpu stopped responding. Please help its really annoying and frustrating.

If the time is consistently 5 minutes it may be either some power saver kicking in, some backup trying to start, or maybe some heat related issue.

Take a close look at "it said something" and post that information.

You can also use Event Viewer to discover any error codes and warnings that may occur just before or at the time of the random turn offs.

The following link from within this Forum will help you with Event Viewer:

Take your time, go slow, and learn how the logs are organized.

Do be aware that sometimes the logs report no data. However, the system may actually still be collecting data and it will be presented after a few minutes go by.

Right clicking any given log entry will tell you more about what happened.

Look for a consistent log entry to "random turn off" pattern.

Then post that log entry.
