SoulKeeper Posted October 11, 2009 Content Count: 2096 Joined: 07/05/08 Status: Offline Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) My computer randomly shuts off, this only happens when I render a video in Sony Vegas as well... I left it off all last night and tried it this morning, it shut off within 10 minutes... It will always crash at around 10 minutes, no matter what conditions. I even have a fan next to my PC on max directed to the back of it. (where he fan and shit is) I can easily leave my PC on CS:S for from what I know, 24+ hours without issues... Is my PC overheating or what? How can I fix it? Edited October 11, 2009 by SoulKeeper Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/23151-overheating/

Now, what happens (thermally) to your PC when you direct airflow towards your PC's exhaust fans? if you want to check for thermal issues use a benchmarking program to stress your CPU (prime95 is the gold standard), then use something like furmark and/or ATItool to benchmark/stresstest your GPU. Possibly both at the same time. It could also be a crash-to-reboot in the program itself hence the 10 minute timer.

It could also be memory though. I can't think any good temp monitoring software off the top of my head, maybe someone else can post one.

I don't know if you have the Cracked Sony Vegas or not, but I had a version of Corel Videostudio, and the program itself would crash after a little bit. It probably isn't an overheating issue.
