My computer has been randomly shutting down whenever it
wants. I have checked it for the msblaster worm and have
all my current updates and norton antivirus came up with
no viruses on my computer. I recently installed a game,
Medal of Honor:Allied Assualt, and now it is turning off
when i play the game too. I was wondering if maybe it
could be a hardware device, like the fan is not working
properly. Why is it doing this?
 
The video card could be generating a lot of heat. ensure that the fans are
working. Also you might want to download a freeware program called SpeedFan
which allows you to see the temperature that is running inside your box.
Another thing you might want to do is purchase a slot fan. I purchased one
for $9.00 and it has dropped my inside box temperature by about 20 degrees.
 
I have a laptop. So i wouldn't be able to purchase
another fan. But i will download the freeware, thanks
for your help
