Just now when I was playing Max Payne 3 my computer completely shut off. It is as if someone had pulled the power cord and everything completely shut off. Now here are my specs:
380W PSU (Antec EarthWatts 380D )
5770
AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz (4th core unlocked)
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3
Now, I hate to think it is the power supply. I've always heard that antec psu are quality. I'm thinking perhaps the cpu is overheating? Maybe the unlocked core is churning out some extra heat?
I find this strange because last Summer I was playing Crysis maxed out and it was baking in my room-- computer never shut down then. Why now?
I think I have adequate cooling... Rosewill challenger case that has 2 120mm fans (front and back), also a 140mm at the top.
Ideas?
