Hi all

I am having a problem when gaming COD5 - after about 15 minutes, the computer shuts down immediately.
Can somebody help me resolve this? COD5 is the only game/application which does this!
Data:
- Athlon X2 6400+ reaching 56 degree Celsius at highest
- 2x2 GB Corsair 6400C4DHX
- Corsair TX750W power supply
- ECS KA3 MVP mobo

Please ask for more data if needed!

Do you know what temperatures your graphic card is reaching while playing?

Did you patch the game yet? I can't be 100% sure if it was this game, CoD4 or some other that was causing havoc before the patch.

+1 on what everlong said... mixing heat & gaming is like mixing water & oil.

Well, AFAIK I haven't patched it.

I will set Everest to log everything and I'll report back next time it happens.

IF it is heat related, I'm glad that I can boost the fans: an Antec 900 case ;)

Well, the GPU reaches 74 degree celcius and the RAM 66 degree celsius. It actually shut down while pausing the game!
The temperature was this high (and stable) for 5 minutes from what I can read from the log.

Adjusting the GPU fan speed, the temperature dropped to GPU/RAM 47/39 degree celcius. The CPU cpres are however at 59 and 52 degree celsius; it should be well below specs.
This time, at actually shut down during boot, so what could have been undervoltage is maybe heating. The temps just don't fit this theory :S

This may or may not help, try cleaning your computer unless its new?

Buy a can of duster, take off case sides, spray out dust including the power supply,
remove video card, spray out dust, use a q-tip get as much as you can out.

Dust can sometimes cause random problems with electronic components.

Thanks for the tip. I tried to make the fans in the cabinet run faster and hey presto - it's stable!

* Note to self: trust people that say it's a heat problem *
