Random Restarting?

Hey,

When playing games on my PC, like F.E.A.R and Oblivion my computer will sometimes restart during the game, it doesn't allways do it, only sometimes...

Any idea whats causing this?

Thanks, Danny...
 
Yeah, I've ran all scans and nothing... My temps are fine, when idle the CPU is 35c and when playing games about 41c...

Nope, I haven't overclocked any of the components...
 
I just put RCT3 on my computer works fine, but when I do really big stuff like the change the landscape a lot it restarts...

Any ideas whats wrong?
 
sounds like your GFX card is being over loaded. It heats up and the fail safe restarts the comp. but you have a pretty decent GFX card so hmmm, maybe the athlon 2400+ cant handle that card?
But your gfx card is some how connected with the issue.
 
I agree with zen, before you go buying new hardware, change the HD.

If your temp is running at 41 during game play, its not the power supply.


If it still continues, then check into buying a GFX card.

Well he told us the temp of the cpu, not the gpu. To me it almost sounds like your card is throttling, but you should see artifacting before it would restart.

It also could be your psu, what are the specs of your psu? Amps on 12v rail?

Also I take it your haven't changed any hardware? And it wouldn't hurt you to run memtest.

Hope that helps

I don't see how its the HDD becasue it only happens during games, I hasn't done it recently though... It isn't allways that it happens.

I don't know what the specs of my PSU are... it came with my case, it's 400W... Thats all I know about it.
 
you should try this,

well i had that problem with my old pc, and i fixed by simple doing the following.

Going to device manager

and switching the agp to cpu bridge to standard pci to pci,

this is done by selecting update driver and then selecting i will choose the

driver and then selecting standard pci to pci.
