Restarting while playing games
I've had this problem for many months now, and have searched for answers everyone and none have helped, the basic problem is everyone "good" game id like to play that i have i cant because it restarts my computer without warning, games for ex: space engineers, final fantacy 14, dead island. ive replaced my cpu, cpu fan, and even applied new paste thinking it was overheating and causeing a restart (didnt work) ive updated drivers threw manufacter(asus for graphics card, no use) ive tried turning off overclocks and turning them down, still no luck... im on the last step to just buying a new computer, i even tried reformating the whole hard drive and it continued. im unsure if it could still be a power problem another piece of hardware or something software related. if i could get some suggestions on how to fix it that would be great. if you need more information ill supply what i can.
thanks

To start with what are your system specs. including what graphic card you currently have installed, specific memory chips, etc...? What operating system is installed? Review your system and application logs - look for errors or warnings. These should give hint to what is causing the system to shut down. I am assuming you have some flavor of Windows installed. To find the logs go to control panel, administrative tools, event viewer. From there select the system and application logs. If you have multiple RAM chips, try putting them in a different slot. If you only have 1 stick of RAM pull it out and reseat it.
