Help

[Denny Crane!]

Pc has started powering down (all the way off not reboot) whenever I put a game on but works fine the rest of the time for any amount of time.

Power supply fan was not sounding healthy so I replaced that.

Updated graphics driver.

Took out one RAM stick and vice versa to no effect

I'm stumped. The only possibilities I can think of are bad sectors on hard drive or virus' but this is not relative to whats happening with my PC is it?

What kind of PSU do you have? Sounds like it's having a hard time.

Just replaced it with a decent good quality 400w

My Pc just died on me without playing a game. Only thing I can think of to try is checking for dust build up an overheating. I'll check the temp in BIOS, normal range is what anything below 60?

Can a virus be responsible since it is obviously not bad addresses in the ram.
