Computer reboots while playing a game
I have a computer with the following configuration -
Pentium Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 ghz
Intel Original Motherboard DG31PR
4 GB RAM - (2X2GB)
1 GB VIDEO CARD XFX GEFORCE 9400GT
500 GB Hard disk (divided into 3 partitions)
Windows Xp Service Pack 2
Sound Card Creative Audigy
5.1 creative speakers with woofer
Norton Internet Security 2009
19 inch TFT Samsung monitor (1396x76
I am also using a gamepad with Macro
Whenever I play a game like Devil May Cry 4 or Assassins Creed, during the middle of the game the gamepad with macro stops working and then the computer freezes and then I see a Blue Screen of Death error and I am unable to see the error codes as the computer automatically shuts down immediately. The computer tries to reboot but it does not. I have to press the reset button to start the computer back up.
This also happens without the gamepad being connected.
This does not happen when I am just using the computer normally. This does not happen when I am playing Gears of War.
I check the event manager and it gives me acpi error and other event logs.
Can you please tell me what the problem could be?
And also which motherboard would be better - DGPR31 or DGTY41?
Thanks in advance
