PC restarts when playing games [FIXED]

[skynetKen]

So, my pc have random restarts when i played some games, i thought my psu was failing and other hardware things that fails on my pc, but it wasn't. 

i have take it to the shop and it checks out. Tried to play it on my friends house, it checks out too.

 

Now, the reason its off topic because, i think the problem is the Miniature Circuit Breaker or my entire electrical design on my house. anyone have the same experience ?

 

i have call the engineers to check the electrical wiring, and all they said was there was no problem.

 

<Solution>

In my case, it was a wiring failure. Some last technician recklessly cut a ground (gnd) cable from meter to the home panel. WHICH IS ABSOLUTE MAD.

If the problem is your house's wiring you could try looking into a UPS (uninterrupted power supply).

If there are dips or fluctuations in the power that shouldn't affect things running through the UPS.

It is basically like plugging a laptop or phone into a wall, the laptop/phone isn't affected if you unplug it from the wall or the power fluctuates as it is still running off its internal battery, the UPS is just an external version of the laptop/phone's internal battery.

Have you pulled up event viewer to see what might be causing it to randomly power off?

Then I'd definitely recommend an UPS as @Snadzies mentioned.

Some last technician recklessly cut a ground (gnd) cable from meter to the home panel. WHICH IS ABSOLUTE MAD. Things you go through when you live on 3rd world country man.

Awesome! Glad to hear it. And who needs a ground? I like taking risks with electricity!

 

I love in a 1st world country, and grew up in a house wired by old drink relatives. The wiring job is... Not too stable. I've been circuits with a PC or vacuum, lol.

 

Best of luck to you!
