Hey guys, I am sorry if this is posted elsewhere, i looked and could not find an answer.

When I am playing games, currently KOTOR II. my computer shuts down completely. The only way to get it to come back on is to unplug the power supply for a few seconds and plug it back up. When i am not running high end games the system runs fine. I tried removing the side panel and hooking using a box fan to cool, same result, possibly had a little more gameplay time but not much. i am thinking that this is possibly a power supply problem, it does the same thing when playing America's Army or flight simulator. If anyone has any suggestions or a way to load test the power supply it would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Start with posting full specs for the machine, concentrating on the PS and temps if you can get them (before you start the game and then start it but don't play it very long...)
