I have a p4 3.0 ghz with 1gig of ram, and the pc runs fine and all but when i
try to play games, it shuts down in the middle of the game, sometimes it
takes 5 minutes, sometimes it takes 25 minutes, no matter what it shuts
down, ive been trying to play Age of Mythology gold edition, but i cant b/c
half way through the game it shuts down, like the entire pc powers itself off.


ive already replaced the fans, upgraded the power supply to 800watts and
changed the sound and video card.( i know these wouldnt cause the error but
just thought u should know whats in it:P)

Please help. my computer is going to go over the balcony soon...lol

Thankx

Sounds like a heating issue to me. Have you tried putting an extra fan in
the case? I had a similar problem to you which was solved by installing an
extra fan in the case.
 
do you run a temp/fan speed program.
Sped Fan is a good one.
might check to insure temp shutdown is what the problem is.

You may still need a second case fan.
