Computer randomly switches itself off.
 
Only during specific things though. If I'm running a game, or if I'm printing out a large number of pages, it'll randomly just click itself off and I have to restart it. Anyone have any idea why this stuff happens? It has no problems with running torrents, or IRC or winamp, but when I run games it'll click out after a while and shut off, or high number of pages printed. Anyone out there able to help a computer retarded individual?

Tecciztecatl is most upset with you.

Well, I've had Aztec gods mad at me before. Nanahuatzin, for instance, was just the other day telling me how annoyed he was with my shenanigans. But he's never switched off my computer.

The lesser gods have to be a bit passive-aggressive because of their relatively paltry powers.

Well he shouldn't be! He had the opportunity to be the sun god, but he turned it down cause he's all scared of the sun and shit. Not my fault.

Well, I'd say that you might not have a strong enough PSU if it's switching off during games ... but printing pages really doesn't correlate to that.

I had a problem with my computer shutting off randomly in the past, and it ended up being the graphics card. Go figure.

Do some stress testing: burncpu, prime95, memtes86, 3dmark - anything that stresses the hardware

And CPUthrottle, in the meantime.

Overheating problem perhaps? Check your fan or smth

I would have to agree, it sounds like either and overheating issue, or may be a bad component. I would suggest testing the ram using memtest86 as it occurs during 2 fairly ram intensive tasks.
