hey, my computer automatically turns off whenever I play any game for about few minutes!!!! I don't know why it keeps turning off. If i'm using the internet or any lighter softwares it stays on even for a day. I ain't sure with my fan but it seems ok. Can you guys please tell me the possible problems????

Hi all,

So many people with such a problem.
  • When playing games, your computer cpu is used much more..
  • Graphics cards are used much more..
  • They create more heat..
  • Some laptops and indeed computers can overheat..
  • There is a failsafe.
  • If a computer getsd over the pre-configured temperature, the computer restarts or shuts down.
  • This is to avoid your cpu being damaged.


You can check if this is happening to you by downloading "coreTemp":

32Bit Windows https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/CoreTemp32.zip
64Bit Windows https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/CoreTemp64.zip

If the temperature is 90 degrees during your gameplay or infact if it is around 75 degrees whilst just using your computer... This is probably the issue you are coming across.

Laptop Solution:
  • Buy a cooler for laptop:


Desktop Computer Solution:
  • Replace your Heat Sink and add more fans to your computer.. Probably best to take to a computer repair.. If you have no idea how to or look up on google how to. It is relatively simple, however sometimes you need to remove the whole motherboard to place the grip on heatsinks.

Jimmy, Thanks for this info on CoreTemp! I think it is very useful. I am trying it out now. Every gamer should have it in their system tray! I'll post this info on my blog!
