what do you mean by 'shutting off'? do you mean the entire computer is rebooting itself? OR the game is crashing out back to desktop
Does this happen in ALL games? 3d games? 2d games?
Is computer restarting or freezing/locking up within the first 5 minutes of play? or is it after you've been in game awhile 10 mins~+
Most video card problems are drivers, which do not cause shutdowns.
If you dont have a see thru case, open it and watch the fans when computer boots up, are they all running? I assume your computer has at least 2 back fans and 1 front?
Open case, run a big fan on the computer blowing air at a 45 degree angle toward the back of computer. What happens when u run games like that?
This has nothing to do with BIOS, dont touch it.
