I just got a Nvidia geforce 9800 gtx +
I also just got a new computer 2 months ago. I put in the graphic card and start playing a game. I decided to play this other game which was more graphic intense and set everything to high. I was running good untill 1 minute later my computer automaticlly reboots. I lowered the resolution and the game ran for 10 minutes before automatically rebooting. After one last time it rebooted again but this time there happen to be no power at all to my pc. I pushed the on switch and it wont turn on. I open my Computer and everything is connected. There is a button near my ram that looks like a mini power button. If I turn on my computer with the switch in the back the button lights up red. but the main power button in the front doesnt turn on the pc.
my question is why did my pc turn off when playing games?
did my power supply just die... that second?
What is that small power button near the ram for?
