Pc shutting off while running garrysmod

chrismelling · 26 Dec 2008 at 15:51

My computer has run garrysmod perfectly fine without fault for nearly 2 years and for some strange reason the computer just turns itself off at random points while the game is running. This happens in no other game other then garrysmod.

Thanks chris

I'd clean it and then see if it still happens, the more mods and items you have added to the game, the harder it is to run.

Theres a guide on steams website on how to 'clean' it.

Thats the thing i reinstalled vista onto another harddrive and its still doing it.

Overheating?

I cannot understand why it would be overheating, Garrysmod isn't the most demanding game so i cannot see why my hardware would not be able to play it.

Yea but why would this only happen with garrysmod and not while on the desktop?
