Hi guys,
My PC shuts down randomly when I try to play some online games. It shuts down like I pull the cord from the plug. It does not restarts automatically, and when I restart it from the button it starts normally. This may occur in random times. Is it a bad hardware issue or overheating?
Any help will be appreciated.

Ghostman could be right.

Just posted simliar to this in another forum, I had the same thing, dont remember if it was my cpu or motherboard, but it was overheating and shutting down completely. I had to for the time, take the case off and stick a mini fan right on the motherboard, worked fine after that.
AMD all the way

if you dont get a BIOS message, then its probally a safety shut down. Probally b/c of overheating of your motherboard/cpu or your PSU is too low wattage.
my sister had a nice laptop that you had to put something under or else it would *blip* off.
I would tell you how cheap my computer is, but the nitrogen cooling for the 3.8ghz quad-core does get pretty expensive after a while
