For a few weeks now my computer has been freezing and restarting. It mostly happens during games but sometimes just browsing the web or doing nothing at all. When it happens it usually just stops and seems to reboot but gets stuck and never loads any bios/os screen. Once in a while it will restart right away but mostly after several hard resets or some elapsed time which varies it comes back on and usually after a while it stops having the issue but in the next couple days reoccurs. The only log information I have been able to find is: Event ID 41

I would greatly appreciate some help figuring out what is the problem and how to fix it. I received the computer 3 years ago from a friend and it has a water cooling system. Here are the specs:

Mainboard : Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H

Hard Disk : Seagate ST320005 42AS SATA Disk Device (2000GB)

Update 5/8/14 8:06pm
I ran a temp monitor on cpu/gpu while running the game that usually causes the crash/reset and it went from idle to the highest posted temp before freezing:
33c/90f
47c/116f
49c/120f
51c/123f

 


Good to hear you sorted things out :)

Regards.
