    alright whenever im in game or doing anything really on steam or any other game..between 30 seconds and 10 minutes the game just freezes, or the screen goes black and shuts down my computer

    ive done scans and whatnot and checked everything i know....everything says theres nothin wrong

    anybody know what i could do to solve this..im sick of restarting my computer 600 times per day when i wanna play a damn game

    i unistalled steam and cs:s and im reinstalling right now
    if that doesnt work then i guess im shit out of luck...i have no discs or anything that originally came with the computer(lost in a fire)

    What are your temps like? Chances are your motherboard and or CPU is overheating ultimately shutting down to stop itself from burning down your house.

    doesnt sound so much like software problem. More like hardware.....something might be overheating as kyle suggested....it might be ur CPU, or GFX card if it occurs while gaming.....try unplugging all power, and air dusting and vaccuming it all out....clean all the fans too


    try to see if u can check ur gfx temps with the nvidia or ATI software that came with the drivers....and download something to check ur cpu temps too

    whats that supposed to mean?

    lol

    ive got 3 in the house..down to 2, but these 2 are for business, not gaming...

    one is strictly for my studio and whatnot..and the other(this one) is pretty much strictly for private files and whatnot

    oOoo sorry to hear about that :frown: Well gaming, hopefully, should be the last priority in life. Life comes first, I have learned.
