Hello, pretty worn out from this being an ongoing issue. But a point in the right direction would be great. Essentially, playing games on my PC cause it to shutdown, and lose power, i have to disconnect at power source to turn it back on. Also weirdly enough my left Alt Key seems to do this too. Very annoying as I cant AltTab. FYI onscreen keyboard alt does not shut down.
Ive taken this comp to so many computer repair places to be charged an arm and a leg, be told they've fixed the issue, just to have it happen again. Now after going back to an olddd post on this forum about the issue, someone told me they were almost certain it was the HDD. A common model of Seagate harddrive that is listed in my specs.
So i noticed recently my blue HDD light on the case has been flickering red, and wiped all my years of data, bought a new hard drive Wd Red EZRZ which isnt even 7200rpm i downgraded to 5000, and i cant even BLOODY test the thing because I've put Windows 8.1 on it, but i cant connect to the internet because my Ethernet controller has gone funny. No network adapter driver it reckons.
So ive searched online, downloaded mobo adapters on my phone, transferred them, tried to install them . And bang. nothing. Even tried my motherboard driver CD. Doesnt work. Where to from here?? Im lost. might try reinstalling windows 8.1... send help please haha im gonna lose it.
