Title: PC shutting down with SA:MP
Post by: Mikhail Zakhaev on March 18, 2013, 06:59:56 pm

I have two PC's, a crappy one and one for gaming. But sometimes I can't go on the gaming PC because my brother uses it and then I'm forced to play on the crappy one. The problem is, it sometimes shuts down while entering or exiting interiors. (It only happens with SA:MP, don't have the problem with other games) I don't get blue screen or anything, it just shuts down and than restarts again automatically. It doesn't always shut down though, there's just like a 2/10 chance it does. The PC is pretty hot while it happens, so I thought maybe that could be the cause? Anyway, I hope someone knows more about this and can help me.  ;)

I think that the problem is your Graphic card and Ram.
SAMP maybe is too BIG for your PC,as a result your PC cant run it and the temperature goes so HIGH and is shut down (its a theory)

Maybe, but I have had this PC since about 2006 and played SA:MP on it since then. But the shutting down of the PC didn't start untill early 2012.

If the game crashes, reinstall the game.
If the PC restarts, it may be overheating.

If it's overheating and you didn't have the problem before, try opening the computer and cleaning it of any dust inside, specifically on fans and heatsinks.

Okay, I'll try to do that then. Thank you for all your help!
