    PC restart while playing DOTA on Windows 7

    Recently i have upgraded my system from Windows Xp to Windows 7. Now the problem is that when i play DOTA game,my pc always restart. While on other games or other programs it works fine. But this usually happens while playing DOTA game only. Can any one tell me that why does my pc restart while playing DOTA? Any one knows about it? Please provide me the correct solution fro the above issue.

    I suspect you need a graphics card. That on-board chip is not going to handle too much. Might be your CPU and Ram setting are all at default value that might be set by the BIOS. That board should have no problem. It is built for a lot more RAM and also for a high end PCI_E card.

    I would test the RAM that you have with MemTest but I would still suspect the graphics chip especially if the issue occurs with gaming. Try uninstall your firewall and play DoTA for 4-6hrs and see if the problem persists. Most commonly it results from overheating, from failed hardware (RAM, CPU, hardware bus, power supply, etc.), or from pushing hardware beyond its capabilities (e.g., overclocking a CPU).

    According to you should uninstall DOTA game from your system, and then try to reinstall it back on your system. Now check out whether you still face teh same issue on your pc. You should disconnect anything not required to run your system. If your machine is still under warranty, you should take it ito your vendor from where you had you bought it.
