My pc keeps shutting down. - Face9000 - 13.05.2012

Hello guys,i've a problem.My pc keeps shutting down while playing GTA.Sometimes after 30 minutes of play,the pc shuts down,for no reason,in crash log i don't get nothing.

Here are the specs of the pc:

Windows XP x3 2 Home Edition - Service Pack 3 (build 2600).
Intel Pentium 4 - 3.00ghz - 1gb RAM - Nvidia Geforce 9400GT.

I don't have any mod/cleo installed on gta,it's the clean game.

Thanks.

Maybe your pc is heating up. It will automatically shutdown if it's heating too much to prevent damage.

Yeah i was wondering the same thing,but the CPU usage while playing gta is normally at 10%.

Try downloading HWMonitor then run it while playing GTA and look at the temperatures of your system.

I doubt its over heating as MOST computers beep once if they over heat when they shut down, which he hasnt said in his post. Do you get a blue screen? Does it just shut off? Or somthing elsE?

EDIT: Also if you have a custom Processor you will get a warning appear in the corner of your screen which can be adjusted in the CPU config. Which will close programs that use the CPU to prevent it from shutting down, or atleast mine does

It just shut off,no blue screen or nothing.

I don't have a custom processor,it's not overclocked or other,the processor is the original bought from the shop.

This is the screen from HWMONITOR:

As you can see,the CPU usage is at 19%.

gtasa.exe uses 101mb cpu.

Insufficient power supply. The overall load goes up while playing and increases the PSU load, when it cant give enough power it shuts itself down.
