well... speak of the devil
my computer i didnt personally build but i had someone custom it for me with parts i chose... cept for the power supply... i trust them to do well on stuff i dont know about.
anyways... every now and then my computer will just shut off. no bsod just shuts off. usually in a videogame like flight sim. however occasionally it will do it during css, battlefield 2, and even half life (yes the original), and once or twice just being normal...
i called the people i had make it and they said they think that either the video card could be over heating and having the computer shutting down or that the psu could be acting up. both of which they said they could diagnose for free if i brought it in.... however.... i am not in houston texas right now... im in florida and its a little hard to do that.
i was wondering if any of yall ever had that problem and know what it is? like if it is the psu.
oh and i should mention that it is not a frequent event... its not something that worries me much because it happens anywhere from 1 to 2 times every 2 or 3 months...
and the computer is 3 years old now if that helps. and i replaced a faulty videocard once that was just bad from the box with the same exace model and it has run ever since.
i only had the first video card for 1 month before they swapped it for free.
