      Make sure your computer is well ventilated, by checking if the fans are running, also make sure that you have cleaned all the dust out. Download Hw Monitor and see if the temperatures are too high.

      But the most pressing issue is to check ur CPU heatsink.

        My computer is well ventilated  there is no cover on it took it out to see if it was getting hot. Its clean no dust either. The temperature on the motherboard is 35 on the CPU is 37. My cooling Fans are CPU- 3375 Chassis- 4821. I don't know if that is good or not. Also what is a CPU heatsink? ???

            I agree with iamyourmom. Try to check the parts of your motherboard and see if they are free from dust, especially the video card this is sometimes the reason your computer restarts while in the middle of the game. This happens sometimes here in our computers in our shop while they are in a middle of a game let's say DOTA the pc will just restart. What you need to do is try cleaning your video card with a paint brush or something. Oh and btw im using a cleaner here its called WD-40 it stops squeaks, moisture, loosens rusted parts, and it frees sticky mechanisms.

            no need for that, some other people don't know a lot about pc's.
            just give them a break, and let them learn...

                    So, now the computer does not restart? But ur CD- drive is not functioning? Thats odd.  ???

                    Maybe you should try another CD drive, or maybe its an DVD that you put into the CD drive.  ::)

                      It really depends, it could be not as such hardware related but maybe the actualy computer software and drivers arnt working correctly...

                      Make sure you have the lastest drivers for your card.

                          Well, that could be the problem, and it depends on the hardware requirements. Post ur hardware specs on

                          Could be PSU, too small?
