    Recently my CPU has just shut down mid game. Usually happens only once and doesn't happen every game but today it shut down three times in a stroke play match. I rebooted each time but of course was DQed the third time it happened. This only happens when I play WGT.

    Can anyone tell me what might be causing this and how to remedy it?

    I also had this happen to me in the middle of a game this week in a stroke play game , i got a blue screen saying your computer ran into a problem and had to shut down , this is the 1st time i had this issue , i ran my virus protection and said i had no issues , just thought it was weird at the time . maybe it was something going on with wgt .

    Perhaps but don't think so - doesn't happen every game. Just played and no problem this time although nothing had changed.

    In my case, there is no warning - just plain shuts down.

    CPU is either going bad, or overheating...most likely over heating...

    is it a desktop or laptop?

    what kind of CPU?

    etc....it is good to post what you have when asking for help with a PC....

    I would suggest you have your power supply tested. If you know some1 that has a tester for a computer power supply perhaps they will let you borrow it or you could take it to a repair center an have it tested.

    I'm not that computer literate but it is a desktop. The processor is AMD A8-5600K APU with Radeon HD Graphics - 3.60GHz

    8 GB RAM, 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium O/S, solid state drive or drives

    OK - may do that. As I say it only happens when I play on WGT and not every time.
