I have noticed lately that my computer has been shutting down on its own. today was trying to play game Bioshock and has shut down twice during gameplay. But have noticed when gone away from computer and come back the computer sometimes is shutdown. Here is an a Belarc advisor link about my computer.

This sounds like it could be overheating. I would try monitoring your temps for a bit. These are all excelent freeware utilities. I particularly like Real Temp and HWMonitor. OCCT is superb for stress testing - if the PC can handle that, it can handle anything :)
Real Temp
HWMonitor
OCCT
PC Wizard
Speedfan
OCCT came back and said CPU to Hot!!! Any suggestions on cooling it down..I never keep the side cover on to keep it cooler
What temp should it be running?
Right now running avg around 55C
Correction..looks like around 40C
Depends on what you have for a cpu. 55 C or 40 C could be just fine.
At present my processor temp is 47C.
If it's saying too hot, that's most likely what the problem is - and if you're getting 55C when idling, that's pretty high. Fists of all, check that the fans are working and that the insides are not full of dust.Quote:

Ok will put cover on.. blew out fan,,have 2 running but pretty dusty
Something like q-tips dipped into 90+% alcohol work great in cleaning fan blades.
And it does not take much build up on the fan blades to drastically cut the airflow either.
Well made it thru the OCCT cpu test with no warnings of the cpu being to hot
That's good :) See if it will run without any unexpected shutdowns now. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the temps with HWMonitor for a while.
