[Pending] PC powers off when using high memory program

sda1416 · 11-16-2006

When I'm using a program that requires high memory or a lot of CPU power, or some games. The PC will just power off, like someones unplugging it. Does anyone have any ideas of where I might start to repair this problem ?

does it automatically turn back on by itself?

No, you have to push power to bring back up.
