My computer keeps shutting ifself down. It happens when I'm playing something and it never occurs when there's no games running. It just shuts itself down. Just does that. These are the games I've been playing when this has happened: -Crysis (Medium settings) -HL2 (not the Episodes, just HL2) -Garry's Mod -Prototype And my basic specs are: Windows Vista SP1 32-bit AMD Phenom 8450 nVidia GeForce GTX 260 3GB RAM Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi I suppose this has something to do with my cooler or the I/O module. Any help?
Check temps with SpeedFan when running a game, it might overheat and shut itself down. [url]http://www.almico.com/speedfan439.exe[/url]

Use Hardware monitor.It's better and more accurate.Then take a SS of it and post it.
[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;17953711]Get a new cooler, quick.[/QUOTE] no, becuase nothing there is wrong the 127 is a faulty sensor, not uncommon
Sounds like you run out of power, what kind of PSU you have?
[QUOTE=nVidia;17955734]Sounds like you run out of power, what kind of PSU you have?[/QUOTE] 500W. Not enough?
what brand though
Post load temps with [url=http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php]HWMonitor[/url]
Yeah if it's a cheaper PSU get a antec or a more expensive one.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;17956714]or a more expensive one[/QUOTE] Pretty hard without money. Ok, here's a screenshot of the HWMonitor temps. [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/screenie1.png[/img]

Power supply is not strong enough. GTX260 should work on a GOOD 500 watt PSU but apparently, your PSU is crap.
