So yeah, this happened. I'll give you all the details I can and I'll hope you can help me out with this.
Problem? Whenever I play any games the computer suddenly shuts down without any warning. Began happening earlier today and I've been able to recreate it twice with playing War of the Roses and twice with a GPU benchmark. With WotR it takes around 5-10 minutes, with the GPU benchmark it takes somewhat less (Perhaps 2 minutes) The GPU temperatures were 72 and 71 at the times of the shut downs with the benchmark and around 50 to 60 with WotR.
What happens after? The light on the power button stays on and the CPU and GPU fans begin spinning at full speed. The fan at the back that blows air out of the computer also keeps on spinning.
The computer seems to remain in this state forever (I only waited for around a minute for something to happen but nothing did). To get it out I have to shut it down by pressing the power button for around 5 seconds or so.
I was listening to music from Winamp on the two first occurrences (Both with WotR) and the next time I opened Winamp the "Library was corrupted". I had no problem copying my files back into it though. No library corruption when I didn't have Winamp open during the shut down.
I reverted back to a previous NVIDIA driver at some point but it didn't fix the problem.
I shut down the computer, switched off the switch in the PSU and pulled out the plug. Haven't tried recreating the problem after this, but while doing it I noticed that the orange light on the motherboard behaves strangely. Before, when I switched the power switch, it took around 5 - 10 seconds for the orange light to shut down. Now it takes around 2 seconds, then it's dead for perhaps a second before lighting up again for maybe 5 seconds. Then it finally shuts down completely.
Perhaps worth mentioning that the computer was built in the summer of 2013.
So. Any ideas what's wrong?
