Windows 7 x64 random reboot
Hey everyone. Recently my PC hardware was breaking down when I was running Windows XP Professional, so I decided to upgrade all my hardware since it's been 4years. Got a new ASUS motherboard, a new i5 2.88ghz processor, new RAM, new monitor, new gpu, new heatsink etc. I also got Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM through newegg.com. I'm not a huge tech myself so I payed some local tech to install it all. There is only one problem now.
I can run games that are intense on the CPU and GPU and it won't reboot and I can do normal stuff in OS that won't make it reboot. I notice it reboots everytime I try to install a new program of some sorts. It doesn't give me an error msg. It just restarts and when it starts windows it states that windows did not close properly and asks me if I want to start it in safe mode.
I've checked the temperatures of the cpu and gpu and motherboard and it's all normal so I have no idea what is wrong. I also got a new seagate 800gb hard drive when I got new hardware and the tech reformatted the drive and installed windows 7 on it. I really would love to get to the bottom of this without reinstalling windows or whatever. Any suggestions to find out what kind of error I'm getting and how to fix it? I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks so much in advance.
