Can i have more details about your computer?

Is it a recent one are you sure that the games your are playing is compatible with your Os.

Sometimes it happens that some games cause natural conflits to your systems -


When your computer turnoff- does it restart automatically after?


Have you receive any warning message from windows ?

Dear RAHUL

I may not be a computer genuis but i do know a few things about computers. to solve your problem i think you should go to your control panel and choose power managment. Under power managment there is an option to either you want to switch off your monitor or hard disc for a certain period of time,you should choose the option never. If the problem continues go to your setup and configure it there, should the problem continue then yuo should consider your OS (Operating System). Hope we E-mail me the details .

Nope it doesnt restart it just turns off eventually. It doesnt does that before. my pc is 2.0ghz and has 256 memory. But when i reformat my pc it works well again and a couple of weeks it starts to turn off again when play games. All of the games. I tried to create a new account in the windows xp log in then tried to p[lay games on that account then it worked for a while. i dont know whats wrong is it the fan or some virus or the video card i dont know.

Your system has to little memory. 256MB is not enough to support an OS and video games and other apps.. Games use system memory. High-end video cards come with RAM, but cheaper ones use the systems RAM. Long story short you need to upgrade to more RAM. Depending on how much RAM you get you will need to look into LBA. Logical Block Addressing. This allows you to upgrade RAM.

I have had the same problem before with computers turning off by themselves. The problem mights be that the heatsink has collected alot of dust already and it does not allow the air from the fan to pass freely unto the CPU. Many computers have a default setting in the BIOS that shuts off the computer automatically if the CPU reaches a certain temperature. The computer turns off to prevent the CPU from getting damaged. Try cleaning and removing any dust from the components, motherboard, heatsink, fans etc. It should help solve the problem.

Hello!

Good day to you!

About your problem, the first thing you should do is clean up your PC, general cleaning... and be sure you clean also the heat sink of your processor cause sometimes if you processor temp. will to go the maximum limit it will cause your CPU system to shot down..

then clean up also your, memory card.. erase the pin of it just use rubber eraser to clean it..

if your done cleaning, try to replace your power supply a higher wattage's value cause sometimes if the power of it cant give a exact voltage it can cause also to shot down your PC..

and if your done of the things I've said... reassembled it and then run it again...

but if you still encounter that problem, try to use another hard disk drive.. install a new software or OS..


Have a nice a day!

I've cleaned all my heatsinks in the computer,cleaned the fans,they work fine,i've installed 3 more fans inside the pc,a have the same OS as before,and the pc turns off if i start to play any 3d game...the solution is to get a new graphics card,i did exactly like that and no more sudden shutdowns :D

AVAdirect, on Dec 24, 2008 4:05:09 am GMT

It looks like you cpu is overheating, if it turn off when you play games. You don't need to replace you video card. Just put better termal compaund between cpu and heatsink and check cpu temp with everest software. You can stress you cpu with everest and see the result.

Good luck

Well basically if you get a thing saying computer will shut off in 30 seconds then its most likely a virus or the fact that your mother board or hard drive is crashed. Most of which this happens your either having a power problem or just you need to reload your computer with whatever software your using. for instance if you have windows xp and it does this then its either your hard drive your mother board or a system error which is very easy to fix if you just reload it with the windows xp disk. I hope this solved some of your problems

quinn, on Dec 30, 2008 3:50:33 am GMT

I ran across the same problem. it took me weeks to figure it out. it was due to a poor design the cool air intake was 2 inches away from another part of the computer allowing it to over heat it too me for ever to figure that out the air intake was clogged up to the point where it unfunctional so i cleaned it out the air intake and it stopped also i have a mother board in a different computer that came with default settings that caused it too turn off after so long to prevent over heating but i put like 4 fans on that computer and i figured it would never over heat some asus motherboards have thi built in system also check and see if the prossecors fan is functional cause without it being functional the other fans are useless.

You can try this .it might be due to overheating of your cpu.notice if all the fans inside are clean if clean them.If it dosent help check the thermal material between processor and heatsink if damaged get it replaced immidiately.
