I've been having a problem which seems to be quite common among many Windows 7 users.
I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate and it's been fine for about 3 weeks. 3 days ago, it started shutting down on me randomly when i'm playing games. No BSODs, no warnings, nothing. It's as though the power got turned on and off.
I tried disabling automatic restart in the control panel. Again, it restarted randomly with no BSOD. And again I tried disabling it by pressing F8 during the boot. Again it didn't work.
The crashes are bothering me and I have absolutely no idea what went wrong since I did not get to see any BSOD and all event viewer tells me is Kernel Power, Unexpected shutdown. With no bugcheck.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me here. I did not install any new drivers, softwares or hardware prior to the first crash which happened out of nowhere.
*I've come to notice that this happens whenever i've tried running stuffs that requires my VGA card to work. For e.g, encoding a video, running a game or even as simple as alt tabbing.
Cheers,
Xanthos
