[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1797587, member: 33904"] A previous reply suggested that it wasn't overheating because the computer was too new. And that it usually causes a shut down (?). So whether it's going to sleep or shutting down, to explain what happens - the screen goes black, the computer continues to run for a few seconds more, and then stops. I can then wake it with the keyboard or mouse. Seems like sleep mode of course. But can it still be from overheating? How do I determine if it's overheating? I do get the loud fan sound when I stream something, or other things. And I can feel heat blowing out from the vent in the back. As for when it goes to sleep, I'm not doing what I would consider very taxing work to think the CPU is being overworked, however maybe there's a glitch? My computer's specs are enough to allow for PS work and streaming at the same time, you would think. So what steps do I take to check on this? Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
