Hey guys, i did my best to search for this topic and couldnt find it so PLEASE dont kill me if its already out there. OK, so im the PC wiz in my family which doesnt say much for the rest of them so whenever anythnig goes wrong they turn to me and i hate not knowing the solution. My problem is that my one brothers PC keeps shutting down whenever there is high bandwidth being used. Whenever we go to bittorrent anything or play a online masssive multi. E.I. World of Warcraft. its up and running for about 20 sec. before the whole machine restarts. I thought ok maybe a VIRUS so i formatted, but nothing. i thought ok maybe bad memory, so i switched chips, and nothing. Please can anyone out there throw me some kind of help.Is it the net connection or the increased processor graphics usage wearing away on a poor power supply? What machine make/model, and what make/model of PSU as well as other details about the machine, O/S, etc.Do you SEE a Blue Screen show up quickly?

Flameits a home built beauty. its all diff. parts. its like 4 years old and was WORKING perfect for all 4 years. the blue screen of death used to pop up when the prob. first started but its apparently to cool for that now. now it just goes right to restart.Entering shutdown -a in the Start>Run box may get you the bsod back. If it shuts down now without warning it's a hardware problem, overheating GFX card perhaps?Check your heatsink
