Having trouble running 2 different Game Clients at once

[Jessy]

Hello,

Recently I've been having some trouble running 2 game clients at once on my computer. I used to be able to run League of Legends and World of Warcraft, each one on a different monitor. What happens now is my computer continues to run but both of my monitors turn off and I have to press the power button on the tower. I want to help pinpoint what the exact problem might be because I cannot build a new computer from scratch at this point in time. My computer is about 5 years old but I upgraded the power supply, graphics card and fan system about 2 years ago for GW2. Let me know if you need additional information.

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 500W
Monitor #1 Model: Dell ST2421L(HDMI)
Monitor #1 Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor #2 Model: BenQ GL2760
Monitor #2 Mode: 1920 x 1080(p) (60.000Hz)


Thank you


Small Note: I also want to be able to play Star Wars: Battlefront, so if you could keep that in mind when giving advice, that'd be great.

I'd assume that something (either CPU or GPU) is overheating, causing the system to crash.

Make sure there's adequate cooling going on. I'd also use something like Hardware Monitor to keep an eye on temperatures.

Now that you mention that, it might be the new computer desk I bought. The spot where the tower goes is closed in the back so there isn't much ventilation going on back there. Would pointing a fan back there help? How to I get that area to stay cool?

Take it out of that spot or create a hole in the back. Those things are terrible to put computers in if they don't have ventilation.

Yes, that would be your problem.
