Re: Computer shutting down by itself
I don't know much about it, but could overheating be an issue? Is there any nvidia utility you could DL that would give you the card temp?

Set speed fan and check the temperatures.
If it's actually overheating just like this, I'd check all the fans, clean the fans and coolers and make sure everything is properly attached.
If it's not overheating, then my "expertise" arrives at some kind of dead end where I'd suspect a hardware failure of for example the graphics card. Which reminds me of Whacker's famous words that the 8800 series and some other NVidia cards may be made of bad material that can fail after some time (months, years) etc. Just a suspicion, I'd check the temperatures and interior of the case first.

Re: Computer shutting down by itself
perhaps you are bumping it while playing?
on my other computer, if i lean, sometimes the chair will touch the computer in the perfect place in a corner(where no button is btw) and re-start the computer. but i only lean when i play games, so maybe this is it?
just my 3 cents. that means mine is a cent more worthy than most peoples :D

Re: Computer shutting down by itself
Had in on my previous laptop. Was due to heating. Had to clear it out (dust etc) and it was better afterward (not completely fixed as the internal fan was broke too). So I would say its a heating problem or alternatively, a sensor problem.

Re: Computer shutting down by itself
I think you're probably all spot on. My machine does get pretty dusty and doghairy down on the floor under the abominable filth of my desk. It hasn't overheated before but that not to say it's not what's happening now.
I'll do a Searh & Rescue. I'll let you know.
Thanks.
