    Hi Lisa,

    In order to assist properly, kindly answer the following questions:

    • On which website are you trying to play the game? What is the title of the game?
    • Have you tried using other browsers like Edge?
    • What error message are you getting?
    • Can you provide more details on the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?
    • Are you experiencing that same thing using other PCs?

    Your response is highly appreciated.

    PC shuts down playing games

    Thanks for the reply. Solved

    It wouldn't play any games at all, just shut down my PC each time. I checked the CPU temp on a high demanding game, highest temp was 136 f which is ok.

    Solved the problem, my PC was plugged into a backup power supply unit so on a hunch I plugged it into a separate outlet directly. Ericka, most have had a power drop from the UPS unit to my PS which caused it to shut down on high demand, so I'll have to replace
    it. Lucky because I'd still be trying to fix it

    Hi,

    Did you check the game compatibility with Windows 10?

    Steps: Try to run the program in compatibility mode:


    • Right click on the game icon through which you launch the game.

    • Click on properties.

    • Click on compatibility tab.

    • Check the box, run this program in compatibility mode and select the previous operating system.

    • Click on apply and then ok.
