Hello
Same problem, different person. Computer shuts down randomly during gameplay (RAGE). Technically I use this computer at my office, so I don't play many games with it, but it has run Fallout 3 in the past with no issues. So at least there is some sort of baseline. Oh...and EVE online ran with no issues when I played that.
RAGE will start, run opening sequence, get into the actual gameplay, ran for about a minute the first time, then shut down my computer. Second time it ran for about 75 seconds, third time about 90 seconds. I got a little further each time...
The second and third time I ran a GPU and CPU heat monitor. All 4 CPUs sat around 60 - 65 C. GPU seemed to peak around 70-75 C. None of which seemed way out of whack. Also went into my BIOS and changed the warning level for my CPUs to 80 C from what it was originally set to of 60 C. All this said was a warning level though, not like some sort of fail-safe shutdown zone. I didn't see anything that would have shut my computer down when it reached that level.
Home built computer about 2 years ago. I've included a DirectX diagnostic, as well as computer specs below. I doubt it is a lack of wattage from a psu, as that seems to be the common problem. Although it is always possible it is a faulty psu. Let me know what you think
Thank you,
