PC keeps restarting/crashing

[restartingpcguy69]

Hi guys my system is

cpu - amd fx 4100 quad core processor 3.6ghz
gpu - gtx 760
Ram - 12gb
OS - Windows 7

ive cleaned the pc out (openned up the inside and air compressed everything out all dust etc and its really clean inside)

i dont think its the ram either

i usto have this problem a while ago but then it stopped doing it but now its started again

the temperatures are normal (not overheating)


it only restarts usually when im playing vidoe games :/ e.g counter stirke and dota 2 but doesnt do it straight away sometimes 5 minutes in or sometimes after a ton of games.. :>

any help appreciated sorry for newbie question

When did this start happening? How old is your computer? How old is your harddrive? ok wait, you said you had this problem a while ago but it stopped, did you do anything or did the weather change, I know you said your temps are normal but just in case do you know if the weather changed, or did you do anything differently, did the computer ever get hit or fall over? How do you know your temps are normal, what program do you to monitor them?

restartingpcguy69, download and run Seatools and test the HDD to make sure it is not the culprit of your problems.

Im 100% sure its the ram, Ive kicked my pc once on accident, and it just went black screen, I just slightly wiggled the ram and it worked like normal. Also is this thread still alive? Im sorry I forgot about this thread.
