Lately I have been having my PC restart itself at random times. The PC could be on for all day and it sometimes would not do it, but other days it can be on for a few hours before it resets.
Basically as of late, my PC has been resetting itself on World of Warcraft. The screen would lock up and freeze then it would turn black. However the keyboard would remain on (i can tell because i have the saitek eclipse) and the PC still appears to be turned on as I can hear the fans etc. I then must hold the power button to turn it off and it would just turn on like nothing has happened. It only happens on WoW though which is annoying
My temps appear to be fine - CPU 55-60c / GFX card 50c-55c (This is whilst ingame and hot room)
I have ran some tests like Memtest to attempt to rules out some components and it appears that the ram is fine.
The last software change that I did was update my GFX drivers because they increased FPS within Steam HL2 Games. The problem use to occur before this update but it was very minor but since installing this driver it has appeared to get worse.
My system is:
Q6600 @ 3.2
OCZ Blades 4gb @ 5-5-5-18 - 1200MHz
BFG 8800 GTX
Gigabyte P35C_DS3R
Corsair 650W PSU
I have reset cable connections / heatsink and the problem persists!
I am quite an experienced builder and PC user but I am really puzzled so please any comments would help.
