PC shutting down abruptly

[NiTrOgEnZ]

Need some help here guys! Desktop tends to go into sleep mode when i game. But when i try waking it up, doesn't happen. usually will have to press the reset button or perform a hard reset. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Event viewer is showing this.

"PC shutting down abruptly" - but frm ur description, u are manually doing hard power reset?
"Desktop tends to go into sleep mode when i game" - do u mean ur monitor screen no signal, goes to power save mode?

if ur gpu is on auto fan speed, can u manually set higher speed 75-90% when gaming to test? also monitor gpu & cpu temps

Most likely graphics card going up lorry.

yes yes.. i think the screen no signal and goes into power save mode. Coz i still hear the cpu fan sound. what could be the cause?

Go to your monitor setting and look for power save/auto shutoff/timer off option and off it.

[jtjt00]

problem seems to be resolved after setting gpu fan to 75% and above... hmm! thanks for the solution.
