 |
|
| My computer powers down when im playing a game and starts to make an internal beeping till I power it down completely manually. Should I assume that this is my power supply? And if it is how hard is it to switch out (I already know I can find osme cheap ones)? Thanx for any info! |

Please check the temperature of your processor. It's possible that your processor is overheating, and BIOS (or whatever is responsible for tracking your CPU temperature) shuts down the system. On many motherboards you can check the temperature from BIOS, I also saw some programs that show you CPU temperature in OS. If it started recently I'd check if all fans in your computer, and mainly CPU fan, are working properly.

Some motherboards overstate temperature. I saw Gigabyte mobo which show 75 degree but in reality was about 47 degree. I think the same as Gennadiy but maybe power supply working bad - hesitation of Voltage. Please write your power supply manufacturer name and model.
