Computer Cutting Off Not Sure Why

[iboy007]

Hello.

I have a problem where every time i try 2 run a game on my desktop it would work for a while before restarting. Not sure why but i think the battery is low. Can anybody help me?
Dell Optiplex SX280
Windows XP Professional

Uhm, what?

If the battery was low why wouldn't you just plug it in?

i mean the internal battery u kno that maintains the time and stuff

Overheating? Playing games will make the computer work more and therefore overheat.

Hmmm

I think what you are probably facing is either a driver issue/software issue or worse a hardware issue. Given the little information you provided, I would be inclined to try the following:

1. Uninstall your graphics driver
2. Download and install a new one for your GPU

If this fails, then try reinstalling the game.

I hope this helps but I guess that's what I would do at first.
