[Loafy]

The problem is happening on several more games like NFS Undercover,NBA 2K9 and they are licensed tryed with cracked one and its the same it's a hardware problem but dunoo which one while watching stuff i didn't had any problems and there is one time that happened when i was finishing the instalation of L4D[/Q

I had this problem with my old computer. I know what the problem is. Your video card is hooked up on one power circuit, this causes a overloading of power on the one cord. causing it to completely shut down because it can't handle it. To fix this, open up your computer and make sure your power spliter from your graphics card is hooked up to 2 circuits.

and waht i mean buy a can of air is air duster,,,yes the side of your case is open,and you have a fan on your card if im correct.if its all caked up with dust this is going to cause problems cause it cant stay cool.

Look inside your case, if you have a wire coming out of the back of the card, that means you can fix the problem, if you don't, its probably overheating. (if you want more detail, ask.

Also check your video card I had the same problem after I updated the card try earlier setting for your card. Also you might need a new fan possibly a 2 stage fan
