When starting any game that requires reasonable graphics, (i.e. fps games, Skyrim, WIC, space sims) my pc shuts down as soon as I boot the game. It doesn't even get to the point that graphics are needed just flicks onto a black screen to start the loading process then 0.5 seconds later "blap" - shut down.
The strange thing is that I can play Bejeweled 3 on 1920x1200 with 3D accel and animated backgrounds so the computer is obviously capable of showing high res.
I even tried going retro on the fps and playing COD:MW2 but again "blap" instantly after starting the game.
Cpu temps are at around 40, GPU around 30-40 (obviously before attempting game starts as I don't get time to see any changes before everything shuts down)
I starting to get withdrawl symtoms from lack of shooting people, please help.
System:
AMD Phenom II 4x 3.4 GHz
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
Nvidia GTX460 (1GB) driver ver: 9.18.13.4475
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
