Hi
I have a problem with my computer that when gaming under heavy loads in the heat it restarts every 10-15 minutes (sometimes more often, every 5 minutes or so).
It happens on all graphics intensive new games, and on old games when I load in high texture graphics packs (e.g. Vanilla Half Life 2 doesn't restart the computer until I load in all of the high texture mods etc.). This doesn't happen in winter but only when the weather warms up.
I'd have guessed it's a heat issue but when I run CPU and GPU stress tests I can't repeat the issue - no matter how hard I push the CPU & GPU tests with the stress software, even when it's hot, the computer doesn't restart. Only when heavy gaming in the heat.
I'm really at a loss and would appreciate any assistance or advice, thanks.
