Hello All,
I built my computer last year. Don't remember the exact specs but something to the effect of:
ASUS MOBO
Athlon X2 Processor
4 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
500 Watt Power Supply
ATI Graphics Card with Heat Pipe Technology
Enclosed in a case that is well ventilated with 6 Case Fans
I originally thought this was a heating issue, but it is strange how it occurs. Mainly happens while playing Starcraft 2. Computer will just shutdown after about an hour to two hours of playing. I've noticed this also sometimes happening if I leave the computer on and come back several hours later.
The strange part is that if it happens, I try to power it back on and it won't work. But if I unplug the cord to the power supply and plug it back in, all of a sudden it works. Bad power supply, or is there another issue going on here?
