Hello,
A few weeks ago i installed mass effect 2 on my computer. It has been working fine, except starting yesterday my computer would randomly shut down and restart while playing. I have no idea why it would start doing this now, and i am scared it is a CPU issue. I have an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, and Geforce 7600 GS graphics. The computer is about 8 years old and the processor is just as old.
