PC - Dem PC problems - View Post

The last week or so my PC has decided to switch it off on daily basis - today it has been particularly bad. Funnily enough today my hayfever was uber bad too, so I think my PC migt have a hayfever or something. 

Basically it just switches itself off while I am playing League of Legends, so not a very demanding game, but you HAVE to fucking participate, and when it switches off and I have to waste 3 minutes getting back in it sets me back a lot. 3 times in one game has really pissed me off. I thought it was a problem with the PSU fan so I moved it higher up and closer to the window, as well as turned on a rather large fan to ventilate the room properly, and pretty much pointed it at the processor. It still continued to do so, so I thought it was a problem with the power supply, so I changed the sockets around, the extensions etc, moved some stuff up and about. It still dies, now it's completely dead. Won't switch on AT ALL. Before it proceeded to kaput I have checked the temperatures and they were in range of 40C, with about ~1000 RPM of the fan.

I've also proceeded to open it and check out the insides, as well dust around a little bit to see if maybe the fans were blocked, as well as checked the connections and made sure that the wires were properly connected.

So the components I have include; GTX 550TI, INTEL I7-2600K / 8GB DDR3 .
