PC turns off once games load

Have you checked the temperatures of your components when they're trying to run games? When's the last time you cleaned out the inside of the case? Sometimes when a PC turns off like that, it could be a temperature trigger point set in the BIOS has been exceeded, and it's turning off the PC to prevent damage.

lochlomonder is right. May be some part of your PC needs thermal paste like the heat sink etc, maybe heating up..

Hello Lochlomonder, please excuse me if I have the person, but if you are the same helpful person that used to be on the pcguide.com forum, I just want to say that you were always a big help to me at the former website. I can no longer use the pcguide.com forum website as I am not able to log on and I think that site may be taken over by a virus. In any event, if you are the same Lochlomonder, I just want to say hello. I just signed on to this website today and this is the only way I was able to message you. Thank you. Again, if I have the wrong person, my apologies.

I'm the same person. Wekiva. I'm not sure what happened to the other site; however, I know it's been down for a few weeks. Welcome to this forum

Thanks Lochlomonder for replying. I was known as Crestwood on the other website and I always appreciated the kind help you provided. I'm not sure what happened to the other website either but I found it alarming as when I would attempt to log into that site, I was redirected to weird sites with strange names and I would get a message that I had a virus. Have a great day!
