DMAC drivers?

[Dislexic]

Hi recently my computer has been turning itself off during gaming sessions, i originally thought it was a hardware problem but after months of checking I and 2 computer repair shops cannot find the problem there. Ive checked the microsoft help and support thing that comes up once it reboots, which came up with this...
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/10/en-gb/5.1.2600.2.00010100.2.0?SGD=86cca202-62c9-4e99-8e78-26b9b1572fd9

So after looking at this I started checking through drivers and literally tried updating them all.
When I got to the direct memory access controller, the properties read that
"No drivers are installed for this device. "
From here I clicked Resources where it read
"Resource settings:
This device isnt using any resources because it has a problem"
I tried updating them using windows and was wondering could this be causing my comp to restart somehow and should there be drivers there, oh and where do i get them.
Any help would be great thankyou

Re-install your motherboard drivers....re-boot.

Right well the DMAC thing has rectified itself but im still getting the same windows error message relating to drivers :/, i didnt do the motherboard thing how would I go about doing that

They should be on a CD labelled drivers that shipped with the machine...
If you can't find them (100 to 1 odds this is the case) then DLoad and install Everest Home.
Run a report and it will tell you exactly what hardware you have in that machine.
From there you can hunt down the drivers.

Here  is the driver support page...you need to enter the MBoard info.
You probably want the 4 in 1 pack along with the USB drivers just in case...

Well no luck there, my comp is still turning itself off for fun dunno what it could be!

The most common causes of random reboots are heat, bad RAM, power or HDD issues...
What exactly did they check when it was in the shop ? ?
