Recently I've had some restart problems while playing a game (rallysimfans' Richard Burns Rally; I should try others.) First, I used to record some gameplays of it with Bandicam at 1280x720 resolution in fullscreen mode without problems, but since some months ago my PC would restart immediately (no BSODs nor nothing) unless I set the game to run on windowed mode. Then I had a restart while recording it at 800x600 in fullscreen mode, which also used to work, and it's the way I normally play the game. This week, I've had restarts while playing (not recording) it in that latter configuration, which never happened before. I think it only happened at stage-ends, or while switching back to the menu.
Maybe these problems are related with the noises I'm having: I think they come from the PSU fan. The only kind of noise I've had the past few years was happening only after turning the PC on; a quite loud and "constant" noise that would last a few minutes (usually <5) and would never come back for the whole day. I'm pretty sure it always happened only on "cold" days (like, >0 °C and <15 °C).
But now, there's some different noises at startup. As you can listen, specially from 0:20 onwards, those sounds aren't loud nor constant. They started happening about a week or two (don't remember) before I started having the restart problems this week, and these days were quite hot (>30 °C). The first time it happened, it lasted for the whole day; but the next days it would eventually stop and never come back. Maybe that first day was rather cold? Because today it's neither cold nor hot, and it's been already more than an hour since I turned the PC on, and those noises are still there; sometimes they stop for a few seconds, only to come back latter.
