Hi
Im really sick of my P4 3.0G on intel 945GNT MB. I m using 7600GT . whenever i start a game the computer shuts down after few minutes.I had this problem very occasionally before getting 7600GT but now the max game that i can play is 30minutes or so. I don't know what to do. Please help
 
I can only assume the logical fix is to check out the air cooling guide that is stickied in the forum and grab yourself one that fits. Also improve case airflow by adding any fans if possible, sometimes cases only come with one fan but have spots for more.
 
It's not necessarily just heat issue, or heat issue at all. Sounds to me like a Powersupply issue.
 
ya i agree powersupply, but check CPU and GPU temps with speedfan/ati tool.
 
First of all, you need to state if theres any overclocking occurs. Secondly, if you want help you must include a FULL spec of your computer. Then, we might know whats the problem.
 
Set a log of temperatures, I had a problem like this before, replaced PSU, HSF, and then found out the video card was defective, but it was all good ;)
