    Hey ppl I have an issue!


    Any newer game i try to run my computer just shuts off after about 7-15min play time. Could this be due to not enough power?


    Specs of my Computer

    Asus m3n-72d mother board
    Amd Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4Ghz
    6 GB 800Mhz Ram
    3 HDD 1x 1TB, 1x 500GB, 1x 250GB
    1 Optical Drive
    2x 9800 GTX+ OC (not SLI Configed)
    Ultra ChillTEC CPU Cooler with front Panel (Thermal Cooler)
    Antec 900 Cooling Case with 4x 240mm fans and a 480mm Top exhuast fan
    850 Watt BFG SLI compatible power supply
    Running 4 Monitors ( 2x LG LCD 20" DVI, 1x IBM LCD DVI, and one Dell CRT 15" DVI to VGA converted. )

    It could well be heat related. Give it a really good clean and check that all fans work. Make sure you do not use a vacuum cleaner anywhere near it as they are infamous for generating lots of computer-damaging static electricity.

    You got plenty of good power. Yes to dust as it's probably overheating.;)
