Pc reboot during gaming

[PhatLloyd]

HAPPY FRIDAY GUYS!!!

So I'm playing NFS Rivals when my pc freezes. So I reboot and start playing another game. This time my p reboots by its self. I then play Thief when it happens again. This all took place in about 15 min. The first time something like this happens. Please help I want to do some brain damage gaming today!

open the pc check that the pc fans are working and there not a kitten growing inside your pc. download msi afterburner check the gpu fan make sure it can spin up to 100 percent. make a newer fan profile to max the fan out at 60c. if the pc reboots and the temps are fine it could be a bad part in the power supply and it not holding. (cheap or low end units will do this).

Downloading now. So far up time has been 10min in idle and it seems fine.

I'll try another game when the download is completed

The pc was in idle doing absolutely nothing when it rebooted

Ram issue maybe, just had this happen and the ram was bad, random reboots didnt matter what i was doing

I bought my RAM at the begining of the year. Now I do any thing it reboots. Install something and it reboots. Trying Ubuntu then going to install BitDefender

I solved the problem. What I did was unplug the gpu, fans, and cd rom and only booted with essentials. I found that the pc no longer did this, so I plugged everything back and problem solved
