So I just upgraded to a new power supply, the CX750 and it still shuts down or halts when I play battlefield 4. That's all I have tried for now. Anyone have any ideas?

now i just saw this one so probably a new mobo.  +1 to tugadude4.

You can always try to use a motherboard test card, these usually aren't to expensive either, and it will pull an error code from the board.

Try it indeed! When it also fails at ram. Just try it with Memtest86 also. just to be sure.

Hahaha! Thanks guys. I was going to test memtest, if someone could give me a link that would be great. Thanks for all the great help, I will go have the professionals look around and see what is wrong with it and then I will tell you guys what was the problem and how they fixed it.

If the Memtest came out fine, try to under-volt your CPU's VCore (core voltage) using this guide.

I always keep my drivers up to date. My BIOS is slightly outdated, but the revisions don't list anything that seems related to this issue, and to be honest I'm scared to update it in case it breaks something else.

Have you tried running memtest86? I am going to try this tomorrow and seeing if it's my ram.

Thanks. Isn't memtest86 just for 32 bit operating systems?

You're welcome. Native 64-bit code (for the processor not the OS) is supported since v5.

Well I have a 64-bit OS, will it still work?

The program boots prior to the OS, you don't even need an operating system to run it. So, the OS is irrelevant here. Before the release of version 5, it used to run only on processors with 32-bit instruction set. It's a matter of processor compatibility, not OS compatibility.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info!

No problem, I hope I was fairly accurate (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and let us know the result of the test.

Any news, OP?

No sorry, I decided I am just going to the computer store, because everything I try doesn't work.

Yeah, I remember you saying that, but I was wondering about what they could have told you was wrong.

Hi.

I have been having trouble with my computer.

My computer Halts/Crashes when doing something that's heavy load, for example: Rendering a video in premiere pro,Playing Battlefield 4 and 3,etc. It doesn't even say a error, it just shuts off. 

Please tell me what could be wrong. I was thinking it was my power supply because it's a bad make and company but I don't want to buy something if it doesn't fix it.

Computer specs:

MB: ASrock n68c GS-FX

CPU: AMD FX-6300

RAM: Don't know the company but: 8GB (2 x 4GB)

GPU: Radeon HD 7770

HDD: 1 x Western Digital 500GB: Don't know what series.

PSU: Dynex DX-PS500W

Thanks.

When it happens does it happen so:

 

black screen,

everything stil running, but windows reboots (on mine leds on fans stayed up, everything running, then got the ok beep from the speaker as it rebooted)

 

replaced the psu. fixed

No it just shuts down, nothing is on. It just totally shuts off.
