Hi Inferect

Welcome to Free PC Help

It sounds to me like your cpu is overheating and thus causing your machine to keep restarting.

Make sure all fans are working and the pc is free of dust internally, especially around the cpu heatsink.

What are your system specifications, eg memory, cpu etc?

Hi InFerect:
Please post in only one forum. If you are not sure which one we will move it to the correct one to the best of our knowledge.

Down to business then.
To start with you should open your case and see if there is a build up of dust, dirt or grime anywhere inside. If so post back and we will provide instructions on safe cleaning. You would be surprised at how fast this can happen based on different circumstances. Look for anything around the fans or the heatsink which looks like fins above it. Or any other area which might look clogged.


Depending on the games they can be intensive on the hardware and tax them. A dirty computer can cause over heating and shut it down in such circumstances.

Start with that. If that is not a problem then tell us the details of your game and your computer specs.

Welcome to Free PC Help, InFerect.


Does Windows keeps running simultaneously if you are not playing games or the
condition still persists. Try keeping the computer idle for 10 minutes and see if it turns off. I hazard a guess but I think it might be a malware issue. However do not do anything unless the experts here advise you to do so. Try and see if you can operate the computer normally without rebooting or not? Good Luck.
