PC restarting

arton — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:23:20 +0800

Hey guys...I been facing this problem lately which is PC restarting when I play game only...

This is my PC spec...

CPU Type DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6550, 2333 MHz (7 x 333)
Motherboard Name DFI Infinity BloodIron P35-T2RL (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
System Memory 2048 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM) Kingston
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB)

D: (NTFS) 465.8 GB (500gb)
E: (NTFS) 38154 MB (40gb)
Power Supply = Silverstone ST560 560W

At first, I thought was graphic card overheat but then i bought a new 3rd party cooler for it but the problem still occur... then suddenly my harddisk died then I send over for warranty...the problem stop happen since then...so I guess the problem was the faulty harddisk which is the 500gb. then once the harddisk came back to me after warranty RMA and the restarting problem still occur when playing game... really weird...when surfing...leave pc on 24/7 without gaming no problem happen...just when play game it happen.

So now I wonder weather is my harddisk problem? or power supply? or motherboard?? or maybe graphic card???

Please help me...is kinda irritating...thanks...
