Several years back I used to get very regular system reboots/shutdowns when playing graphically superior games. I could use the computer for hours doing mundane boring stuff, browsing, using office software and the like but within 5 to 30 minutes of logging into any 3D game it would just reboot or shutdown the computer.
It took me a while to see the pattern so I went through messages on websites for similar occurences and they all tied to some system instability so I went through my more recent purchases for the computer and found out that the motherboard, processor and memory were not fully compatible with each other. The moment I made the change to that .. the processor was the odd one out in this case .. the problem went away.
So, another question would be .. any recent purchases to the system ? Have the old one you can test with to see if the problem exists there also ?
