Whenevr I play a game it just shuts off automatically but the system is still on, the program just shuts off so I figure it snot heating problems which I did have before buy repaired it. CPU usage does go a bit to 100% at times. No error message pops up either it just shuts off going back to windows. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Update your graphics card to the latest drivers and/or reduce the display settings within the game.

I'm not looking to change my vid card. I have a Radeon 9550w/ 256mb. Could it be virtual memory problems or Ram problems? I have pent 4 btw. I accidentally put 3. And I also have 512 because I removed 256 cause it was defective.

Am I smart? How the hell am I supposed to know and if you were smart you wouldn't be asking such stupid questions. -Mort from Trip to Appleblossom City.
