    Okay, so when I play Guild Wars or WoW I'll be playing and all the sudden my computer will just restart. It happens all the time, sometimes it does it when I watch a video on youtube too. I'm about 99% sure it's not a virus problem cuz i have AVG running scans daily and AVG firewall.

    Please Help!!

    It could a power supply or overheating issues. I would check your CPU and other temps. I would post in the hardware forum.

    Check your video card as well, to make sure that's not what's over-heating.

    Might want to check that nothing is shorting in your actual PC (motherboard and all your other connections). Something might have been jostled about recently inside:).I had an issue with my power button shorting so every time I would touch the PC or just randomly it would restart or shutdown. Sometimes randomly while I wasn't even near it, pretty creepy.
