I recently got a computer running Windows 7, it works fine with everything else, however whenever I play a game, the computer automatically reboots. More specifically, it sounds like it shuts down, waits 2 seconds, and then reboots by itself. However, this rebooting pattern is quite erratic. I have managed to play the games AT LEAST once with the computer, with absolutely no problems at all, but upon future execution of the games the computer always reboots automatically. More often that not, the computer only reboots the instant I have actually entered gameplay (ie, the time when I am actually in control of the characters). When I am in the main menu of the games, the computer doesn't usually reboot. I would be guessing that the problem lies with either the Power Supply or the Graphics Card, I'm not sure which one and why/how to fix it.
The two games I've tried are StreetFighter4 and Mirror's Edge. I have managed to play both games perfectly fine at some point of time with the same computer (for some weird reason they worked that time), but now they both hang the minute actual gameplay starts. If it matters, both games worked perfectly fine the first time round, but not subsequent attempts to play them.
My specs are as follows:
Windows 7 Professional
Direct X 11
Core i5 CPU@2.67Ghz/2.79Ghz
4GB RAM
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5770
Intel DP55WG Motherboard
ToughPower Cable Management 750W
23" LG LCD Screen, if that matters
Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!
