  recently (this week) my com has been shutting down or restarting by its own
  
  sometimes it happens during a game and other times during casual web surfing
  
  its as if there was a power trip and everything went out
  
  my cpu temps are about 52 degress
  
  the last time it shut down was in the middle of playing bad company 2
  
  my temps in game are around 57 degrees by the way

   

  i turned off the auto restart in the system properties under "start up and recovery" but it still happens
  
  in event viewer, under critical events i get this message:
  "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
  
  under error:
  "Performance power management features on processor 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."

  change your power supply and get more fans

   However, the best solution is to throw your old pc away and buy a new one

  Take apart your computer, wipe the internal cooling fan. It might work.

  Its your RAM alignment problem. Confirm Guarantee Plus chop!
  
  
  Just take out and put in back the RAM will solve the issue:)
