What's the brand-name / model of that PSU? Is it a quality unit, or is it a $30 no-name special that only weighs 1/2 a pound?
I would certainly be looking at heat as the first culprit... what kind of case do you have, can the cooling be upgraded? If the problem can be replicated fairly easily, I'd try leaving the case side off and directing the airflow of a house fan on your components to see if that resolves the issue... if it does then you know you need to do something about the cooling in your case.
Another possible culprit could be an issue with your sound card / drivers (especially if it only seems to happen in a single game). Try running the game using onboard audio with the sound card removed. If that resolves the issue... try removing / reinstalling the latest drivers, and/or checking to see if there is an option on your motherboard to re-assign the PCI slot resources. |
Yeah, the PSU is actually 850 Watts, and yes, It's one of those Bootleg PSU's (Named COOLERPOWER) I'm not sure, if it's half a pound though :P ...I still find it odd, that SS3 is the only game that makes my computer restart automatically, while I play Crysis and such. Reply Back?
