Hi, I am new here and I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I downloaded a game from Bigfishgames.com which I have done about 10 times in the past. I was playing it and about 5 minutes into it, the whole computer shut off. It did it again a second time. I then uninstalled it and re-installed it and the same thing happened again this time after about 10 minutes.
I scanned for viruses (did CCleaner, Malware Bytes, MS Security Essentials) and found nothing.
I found online that it might be an overheating problem, but I am wondering how that could be because the game is quite simple and doesn't take as much energy to run as previous games I used to play (lots of Facebook games using FLASH), etc.
I played a very similar game to this one for the last week about an hour each day.
Is there something else that could be wrong or ?
Thanks for your help!

Are you playing on a lap top or computer desktop? Do you hear fans working? Also what is your specs on the computer? It could be a heating problem but check to see if all fans are running.

My old laptop would randomly shut off too, the cause was always Overheating.
