Comp shuts down while playing Modern Warfare 2

[DannyITR]

Hi guys,

I have a Q6600 overlcoked to 2.6ghz (hardly earth shattering) and when I play MW2 the comp will shut down after anywhere from a few mintues to 20 min of playing time. I can boot up no problem right after.

I reset by bios to stock settings and it still does the same thing.

I had HW Monitor open while playing and my core temps never went above 52C. I use a CPU cooler.

Any ideas? I'm about to just go out and by a cored I7 system to play this game.

Hey Guys, I have been having the same problems, with the PC shutting down only after playing some MW2. It has to be the software, because it happens randomly throughout the playing time. Sometimes it happens after 20 mins, sometimes it happens after a few hours of playing.

And its only been happening the last month or so, I've had MW2 since it first came out and never had these problems. Thats why I'm sure it has to be on the software end.
