Get a fan and run it on your case while its open. Play a game like MOH or BF1942 or something, see if it crashes. If not, more than likely its a heat issue.

wouldn't it just freeze up and do jack shit until you push the button if it's overheating?

I had a couple of those at work, the fans were gunked up with about 4 years of dust oOo:

Not nesscessarly. Alot of motherboards newer than about 2 years, can detect too much heat from the processor, or any other on-board peice, and will automatically shutdown if they are too hot.

I'd check your CPU cooling fan, Buck.

ah, I just never had a (relatively) new computer overheat, just the crap lab computers biggrin:

make sure the cord isent wobbling too.

Re: HELP NEEDED
 

your power supply is prolly clogged with heaps of dust, clean it out

either that or it's on its way out, you'll have to replace it

give your comp a good blow out, the dust is a killer

ok, well after my computer shutting down on me quite a bit, I got this screen message

ok, so after getting that message, i was told to either re-install windows or format, so I re-installed,,and I got that same error screen again

so my last solution was to back up all my shit and format

so what do I get when I try to format?

so I cant format to fix this problem, so from now on my comp with randomely shutdown and ill get that stupid error....

any other solutions? if you guys say buy a new computer I'll kill you :)
