  3. Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

    Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

    This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

    ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.

    computer restarts

    when i try to run games in general, this computer restarts. the games i tried are age of empires, counter strike 1.6, dod, and star wars battlefront. the computer will restart after ~5mins of gaming. it will also restart if you have music playing, watching a video and having a browser open.
    it can even restart when the computer is running idle, on occasion
    i downloaded atitool, when i scan for artifcats, it will scan for 2 mins and then the computer restarts. heh

    im thinking its a hardware issue, i downloaded avg free, and this computer has no apparent viruses. could it be a video card? perhaps RAM?
    the RAM in this computer is some random brand called 'DRAM masters', so i doubt it is well made compared to cosair or something like that.
    i went to administrative tools and checkd the event viewer, nothing is wrong with that...
    PSU? Mobo?

    this has been happening for about a year, then i replaced the hard drive, reformatted and the problem still occured. this is why i thnk it is a hardware issue.

    is there some software that can monitor the computers performance?
