If you are an owner regarding "ancient"computer, then, perhaps, observed such a mysterious phenomenon: the computer turns off after starting the game. This situation is typical for old PCs, since the system requirements of modern toys are incredibly high. There are several reasons for shutting down the computer when starting any game. Although, perhaps, the system requirements here and nothing to do with it. But first things first.
Power Supply
Let's say that you recently updated somecomponent of the system unit. The rest of the "stuffing" remained old. This is where problems start up when you play games. Especially it concerns the replacement of the video card. In this situation, if the computer turns off when you start games, there is nothing surprising in this.
The fact is that new components (especiallyvideo cards) consume much more energy than old ones. And the power supply remained the same, low-power. The computer simply does not have enough energy to run all the components. So he turns off the most energy-intensive video card. And what work without an image? Accordingly, the whole "sistemnik" is turned off.
The solution to this problem is only one - the acquisitionnew power supply. And preferably - as powerful as possible, in case of future upgrade components. It would also be nice to pay attention to the category of the block. It is better to purchase a power supply with the best optimization of energy consumption. Electricity will be consumed much less with the same power. This is an economics consideration.
Cooling system
The most common startup problemdemanding games and applications - overheating of computer components. The processor and the video card are most often affected. With insufficient cooling system power of one of these components, the launch of a demanding game may well “hang” your PC. This is another answer to the question of why the computer shuts down when the game starts.
The problem may also appear in case of weakness.cooling systems. However, this can be easily verified. If you have an ordinary PC, it is enough to open the lid and look at the coolers of the video card and processor. If one of them does not work, then this is the problem. You can only do one thing here - replace the cooler. But if there is no money, or the stores are closed, and desperately want to play, you can try to turn on a regular household fan and send it exactly to the system unit (of course, with the lid open). In some cases it helps.
To prevent such situationsinstall liquid cooling. Of course, it costs a lot, but there is a guarantee that the video card and processor will not overheat due to a non-working fan. Yes, and make noise "sistemnik" will be less.
A lot of dust
As strange as it sounds, but dust and dirtThey can also cause the computer to turn off when you start a game. The "sistemnik" of most users cause quiet horror and trembling in the knees. The fact that the computer is an excellent dust collector has long been known. But some users, the amount of dust and dirt just rolls over. The question is, how can a PC work normally in such conditions?
Coolers suffer most often from dust and dirt.processor and video card. Also, the ventilation grilles in the case of the system unit are clogged. If anyone thought that these holes are solely for beauty, then this is not at all the case. If the ventilation grilles are clogged, then there is no air circulation. As a result, the PC warms itself. How can you not overheat? When you start the game, a huge amount of heat is released, which does not go anywhere. So much for the reason for shutting down. Simply clean the system unit, and your PC will work like new.
Motherboard capacitors swollen
And this is serious.If condensers are swollen, write to them. In no standing game, you can not "chopped." "Mother" just can not stand it. Capacitors can swell for a variety of reasons. But the most common is overheating due to dust and dirt. So, if anyone thought that overheating only leads to problems with coolers, be aware that this way you can also kill the motherboard. With swollen capacitors, the symptoms of the "disease" are just such: shutdown at the slightest load. That is why when you start the game the computer turns off. What to do in this case? Just change the motherboard, because the repair will be costly and meaningless.
Also capacitors can blow up on the power supply itself. But the point here is one - to replace the failed component of the computer.
The problem with the video card driver
Rarely, but it happens that the computer turns off whenrunning games due to improperly working video card driver. If the driver was initially "broken", then it may incorrectly adjust the temperature of the adapter, which leads to its overheating and shutting down the computer.
Here you can do the following.First, try rolling back the driver if it has been updated before. To do this, go to the Task Manager, right-click on the name of the graphics adapter, and select Properties. Here you need to click "Roll Back" and restart the computer. Secondly, you can completely remove the driver, after which the OS will automatically install the device with a different driver.
If after all this, the computer turns off when you start any game, then it's not the driver.
Thermal paste
Strictly speaking, thermal grease is part of the system.cooling It exists in order to effectively remove heat from the processor. If it is dry or damaged, the PC may overheat. Accordingly, under load, the processor overheats and shuts down the PC completely. That is why the computer turns off when you start the game.
There is only one way out - to clean off the old one.dried thermal grease and smear new. Only without fanaticism. The paste should be applied in a thin layer on the top of the processor. Then it is attached to the radiator and cooler.
Conclusion
The reasons why the PC can turn off whenload varied. But they all have their solution, no matter how difficult it is. You may have to spend a tidy sum in order to repair your "iron friend." But this is not going anywhere, because with all computers this happens sooner or later. And the point here is not at all in low-quality components, but in the moral obsolescence of "iron".
