CRASH

[Humble Grapefruit]

My computer seems to shut down at random intervals while I'm playing video games. Mainly Minecraft and TF2. I just went around 10 days with long hours of play time with nothing happening, but then yesterday, it shut down 6 times. It is completely random intervals and I have no way to determine when it happens other than when I'm playing video games. PLEASE HELP

I wouldn't be the one to ask, but it sounds like you may have a virus. Have you done a scan lately? Also, we need a little more info, like what kind of computer, etc.

Faulty power supply? I dunno, that's the kind of thing I'd have to be in person to figure out.

First it's better to ask this in the advice forum

Also post your PC specs, they gotta know what they're working with.

Not a thread about the Cronenberg film/J.G. Ballard novel? Bugger.

Need more information I am afraid. We don't even know what OS you are using and how long since you have clean installed it.
