Alright, so first here are my system Specs
Core i7 920 Stock
boxed intel HSF
Intel DX58S0 motherboard
6GB Ram Corsair 1066 Mhz (3X 2GB Sticks)
3X internal HDD 1X 160GB 1X 750GB 1X 500GB
1X DVD Burner
ATI HD5770 from XFX
7X external HDD Ranging from 160GB- 1TB
PSU 600 Watt Corsair
The problem I am having happens every so often at it seems to be random my computer restarts never shuts down but restarts mainly when I am playing a game (Borderlands 2 & Battlefield 3 are some of the games I have tried most recently). However games like Portal and Portal 2 seem to not make my computer restart. Below are the things I have tired to correct the problem myself:
Changed the Video card from an Nvidia 560Ti from PNY
Changed the Hard drives around (I did this a moth ago. Have an SSD that crashed so I had to re-install windows 7 anyway)
Ran Hiren's Boot CD and stress tested the Video card
Ran Prime 95 on all 8 threads on stress test for over 24 hours
Re-installed windows 7 and made sure I have run a virus scan with all of my internal and external (7) HDD attached to the computer finding no virus's
Still whenever I play certain games or sometimes even certain video files my computer restarts. Windows does not come back and say my computer has recovered from a serious error or anything.
The other thing that has happened in that my D drive, the 500 GB, has from time to time being lost by windows and then randomly found as if it was a USB drive. I have corrected that by plugging that drive into another internal SATA port and that seems to have made that problem go away, but I don't want to leave anything out of this post.
So far I am at my wits end with this problem, that I can not figure out at all. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
