Default shut down

Ok, I don't know what is causing this, and it ONLY happens when I'm playing EQ... For some reason my computer is shutting itself down with no warning.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I don't surf pr0n sites, I don't install anything I don't trust... I'm at a complete loss for how this happens... Any help is greatly appreciated!

I recommend installing speedfan or some other program to monitor your temperatures. It sounds like you're overheating.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll check out speedfan, and the thermal grease. Hopefully this fixes the problem, as I'm sure you know how frustrating it would be to not be able to play!

Thanks again!

Also had an issue like this with a bad power supply. If you aren't overheating, I suggest you try replacing that.

i had a similar issue...at first it only happend when i played eq on p99....and it was like 1 time every few days..then it stoped for me...i didnt have 1 power off for a month or two...then it came back and got worse and seemed that it was more frequent in big zones like TT or EJ...after it got really bad started happening on while i was playing eq2 on live..and I never had, hard a problem until p99...i chalked it up as my video card. Not sure why it started going out on me though..im not sure if it had something to do with eq1 video setting stressing my video card i had a gtx 290 .....not sure if any of tha thelps but i was having exactly the same issue u are claiming. ....bought a gtx580 and problem is now solved although im still convinced...something on p99 caused my video card to go out faster then normal..i duno =)
