I have an
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3200
Nvidia Geforce 9600GT
3 Gigs of Ram
It all started with World of Warcraft, I started it up one normal day and it wasn't in the main menu for more than a second than suddenly my whole computer shut down, and it started doing that every time I tried starting it, then one day, when I tried starting it up, it ran fine, played it for a couple hours and got off with out a problem, and then other games starting doing it when I started them, and then sometimes, i'd just be listening to music and browsing the web and it'd shut down out of no where, or I wouldn't be doing anything at all, I'd come back from doing something and my computer would be off
I know the first thing you guys are going to jump to, an overheating problem, well I'm pretty sure that's not it, my temps are fine, but I'll show you anyway
Graphics Card(Nvidia 9600gt): 120 F 49 C
Processor(AMD Athlon 64 X2 3200): 88 F 31 C
Hard Drive(Maxtor): 102 F 38 C
Main Board: 35 C 94 F
If anyone could help me out that'd be great!
When was the last time you updated your video drivers?
There are many things that can cause this.
My video drivers are up to date :D
Update: I could hardly even turn on my computer this morning, it took multiple attempts because it kept shutting down when it got to the welcome screen(i have windows 7 by the way) and also, it will even shut down at the windows loading screen

Now I can't even run a game, every time I start up a game, my computer dies before it even gets to the main menu..
[SOLVED] It was a dying power supply :)

Was there any difference with the new psu?
Nope
did you recently upgrade anything, and as a result a more powerful PSU is now needed?
