Random Reboots

I'm getting random reboots while playing a new game in beta. I used to get these same reboots during Everquest 2 play, but they stopped.

1. I see nothing that jumps out in the event viewer.
2. My cpu runs no hotter then 45c.
3. I ran mem tests on my ram over nite with no errors.
4. I cant get my pc to write to my .dmp file. I have it set up under system properties correctly.
Is there a service that needs to be on? I shut down lots of services for gaming.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Tray

System specs
Hi and welcome to Techspot!!

First, check out this thread HERE, and tell us your system's PSU (power supply) specs, like make & model, wattage, and amperage on the +12V rail. Check the PSU's label, that info should be there.

Regards

Yep. Sounds like an "about to melt" PSU
