    Computer wont stay running overnight


    i left my computer running last night downloading 2 games though Steam, when i got up it was off, unexpected shutdown. This has been happening a lot and Ive been trying to fix it but not sure what causing it. i deleted all the logs before i walked away from computer before bed, no mini dump was created or in the LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG folder. I'm lost on the cause and I'm not sure what i need to do.

    you might try watching the temps could be thermal shutdown which isnt good
    u might try useinghwmonitor to keep an eye on your temps

    no i dont think its overheating, i got 2 120mm front fans for intake, a side 240mm for intake, and 2 120mm top for exhaust and its a huge full tower case

    hers the data from HWMoniter though

    max temp is from play Crysis for an hour on Very High settings
