chris578 · 08-22-2007, 04:49 PM

i just built a new pc and was all working fine up until the third day were my pc would just shut off itself the power would just go. the pc would switch back on but this keeps happening randomly anyone know why. By the way these are the temperatures my pc is reading using sensor view are these temps ok.

cpu 34c
gpu 47c
sys 26c
aux 234c
HDD 33c

WELCOME TO TECH FORUMS!!

anyway, those temps are fine though that aux one isnt really a temp, not sure what it is,does your pc switch off when gaming, or anything else which would put it under load

Welcome to Tech-Forums!

Your computer automatically turns off/restarts when you play a game? Run Memtest86 as decibaL has suggested. What are the specs of your PSU?
