Is it my pc or..?
tiffyt:
I am so upset about my computer right now. I have no idea why but it keeps shutting off.
I know it's not a "Thermal heating event" or a virus as I ran a full scan last night. It only happens when I am playing my game though.
I cut down my downloads from 8.5gb to 6.77gb. >.>
I also cut back on the hacks and hacked objects I have.
I can play for a little while but then after a while my entire system just shuts off. No blue screen or anything. When I turn it back on it comes on fine as if I shut it down myself.
No wrongful shutdown messages.
I have no idea how to mimic the event so I am not sure how I can test it to see if it is a download or hack.
Any troubleshooting ideas or advice would be much appreciated.
My pc specs are as follows.
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor 5600+ 2.8GHz
3.00GB RAM
32-bit OS
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO
Mem: 1523 MB
I have all the expansions and stuff packs.
I don't know why it's acting up all of a sudden. I've had this pc since August and I didn't have any issues with it. I love my pc.
Please help... :(
MrMugg:
Here are the thoughts that came to my mind:
1) The motherboard is going bad. (We've had this happen to us. Computer would shut down more and more, until eventually it refused to come back on.)
2) Processor is going faulty. (Probably not, but possible.)
3) Memory is going bad. (See #2)
4) Windows Vista. (I just hate Vista, although Windows 7 is fantastic.)

It's probably the fact that you're incredibly stupid and fail at life.
tiffyt:
Aww.. shit... :(
That totally sucks.
What do you suggest I do? Should I get a new motherboard or memory or should I wait it out?
I really cannot be PCless.
I don't even really know how to buy a new motherboard. :/
Memory I can deal with but the motherboard is just plain scary...
