overheating?

[konc3pt]

Every time i try to play exo zombies. I get about 10 or 15 mins in and then my computer totally shuts down. This is the third time i've tried it. All my drivers are up to date and i un installed and reinstalled the game. Seems to me maybe something is overheating in my machine seems to be the only explenation i can come up with.

I run cpu-z and gpu-z to monitor my hardware and my gpu temp seems pretty normal. (38-43c when idle) and my processor is liquid cooled. Both seem warm to the touch but nothing abnormal. Any ideas?

I don't think i have the same problem in multiplayer. I only tried it once since then so i don't have a real basis for comparisson. But I will try again in a little while to see if it does the same during multiplayer.

I built this machine about 3 years ago.

Check event viewer in admin tools to see what code it threw before the shutdown. Usually the code will let you know what is causing your issue. It could be psu going bad , exact same thing happend to me with a 800watt it worked fine under normal load but after five mins of.gamong poof no power.

when u say shuts down can u be ore exact does it flicker and crash just freeze and then crash I mean it could be a corrupted file in ur game only in that mode causeing it or a write eror on ur hd I could go on but if u five more detail maybe we can narrow it down some more for ya
