Heres the problem, when im playing video games my computer shuts down after about 5 minutes of playing, sometimes 2 minutes of playing and when i just leave it on it can take up to 2 hours to shut down. Ive had this computer for over a year and this just started happening 2 weeks ago. I've changed my video card several times and i am positive it isn't the video card. When it shuts down i have to pull out the cord that goes into the power supply wait for the green light to flash off on my case before plugging it back in. If i do it fast it shuts off ~ 4 seconds after turning it on and if i wait 1 minute before turning it on it boots up without shutting down.

Can anyone help me with this plz.Ty

Hi, and welcome to TSF. Could you please give us some more information as to what processor, motherboard, graphics card and power supply are you running?

In addition to the information Underclocker has requested (please provide what he asks for), check the bios for the temperatures and voltages and report them to us.
