My Windows 10 computer keeps shutting itself down without warning during a play of Season 2. Why?

I have two seperate computers (a windows 8 for browsing and music listening) and a windows 10 for my gaming and today I've played 400 Days and I've been trying to play TWD S2 first episode and two times in a row it shuts itself down without warning. Is this a case of overheating? Do I need to let my computer relax?

  • Cause it's trying to spare you the pain of the second half.

  • Does your computer have a way to let you see how hot things are? I just doubt those games are taxing your computer...but what do yu have in it...what video card and what CPU? How much ram?

  • Yeah. The bottom of it has a fan and I can feel how hot the computer gets when I play. I've always been able to play any of my games without it shutting down my computer I even played the 400 days game without problems. Do i need to let my computer rest?

  • I would also...I would see about getting your computer cleaned..it could be you have dust build up...check your area for a computer shop.

  • Yeah, probably dust build up. Had this happen on my old PC when I was little.
    You can probably clean it yourself, just unplug it, take off the side panel and use a can of compressed air and blow out as much dust as you can.
    Download something like HWMonitor and see how hot each component gets (CPU/GPU) when you're playing.

  • Will simply turning off the computer for several hours lemme play the game again?

  • No, not likely, if it is indeed dust it will overheat and shut down again

  • Guess it'd self destruct then should he input that season that followed #2.
