PC Restarting frequently.

[Akshay Acharya]

Hello sir/madam,
I mainly play PC games on my system. Recently have encountered an unusual error. Whenever I play a game for some time my PC restarts on its own. It wouldn't happen like 3 months ago. But now it does.
Irrespective of what type of game it is; High end game like CSGO/SPLINTERCELL3 or lower end games like Bastion.
Help needed.
Thanks and regards.

Going to have to go with the tiny powersupply on this one. Even with a low-end video card and a low-power CPU that is pushing it.

Look into something like a Corsair Builder series CX430 V2 or larger as a replacement. If you want the highest quality, buy a 350W to 430W Seasonic of XFX branded supply.

It really is a PSU issue ?
I used to run these games fine for quiet some time.
I really thought about it though.
Fine I'm upgrading my RIG anyways

I second about PSU problem. I think if you could run those games before it might be that your PSU is still good and fresh but in the long run, a 230w PSU would have its certain threshold which is far way lower than higher wattage PSU.

Completely agreed
Thanks.
