I recently reformatted and my computer randomly restarts whenever I play a game.?

Question

Sometimes it will restart 45 minutes in, sometimes it will restart at the loading screen. I have better luck with some games than others. When i uncheck automatic reboot, I dont get any error message, just a blue screen. My fans are working fine and As far as I know, my software and drivers are up to date as well. I am leaning towards a power supply problem. Any advice?

Answer 1

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This  problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes .

Answer 2

I had this problem before. Its the problem in ur graphics card. This issue cannot be repaired . Just change the graphics card and it will work. I gurantee u this.

Answer 3

yeah that definitely sounds like a video card problem... I would suggest updating the video drivers, if that doesn't fix it, update all other drivers like sound, mobo and such, could be a problem with that too, but as the person above me suggested, you might just have a faulty card... check if the fan is still spinning on it... if the driver updates don't work unfortunately you might have to replace the card...

Answer 4

get all the latest drivers; motherboard driver, gpu driver, any drivers.

you got directx9c? one possiable although unlickley solution is that you have a power supply too weak.
