I have a problem with my pc !
First, i couldn't use any dvd's or cd's because the pc would shut down and i wasn't able to turn it back on for 5 mins or so. I replaced the power supply and the problem is gone, but now i have another problem, an even bigger one!
When i play games, from Dungeon Siege and Warcraft 3 to World Of Warcraft, the pc shuts down without warning, sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in 10, sometimes in 30 and i can't turn it back on unless i pull the plug and wait 30 seconds, or if i wait for about 10-20 mins with the plug in the pc.
I took it to a service, and those guys tested it with 3dmark, they had no problems...
Also, i made them play a game for about half and hour, and still no problem.
I thought it was a cooling problem so i made them replace the CPU paste, i bought another fan, and now the cpu keeps 33-50 degrees hard drive to 40, main board has a maximum temperature of 40(rarely), and the AUX, which i presume is the power supply, but i'm not sure, keeps a temp of about 40. All of these according to Everest and CPUCool programs.
So i went back home, played dungeon siege for 10 mins and BOOM, Shutdown.
I went down to a friend's house and i was able to play Warcraft 3 and Dungeon siege for about an hour and a half, and no problem.
Now i thought that the plugs in my room have a problem, but i tried plugging the pc alone to a plug in another room..
So i think the plugs in the entire house have a problem, but there's nothing wrong with any other hardware but the PC, and also, this shutdown problem occurs only when i'm playing games...
Can anyone enlighten me ? And please keep everything that i said in mind, including the fact that it worked at a friend's house.
