My computer has been acting very strange lately, as in shutting down when I start any full screen game. I have tried to do a system restore. Update my grapics card. But no luck! I also noticed that It gives me a ton of warnings right before it shuts down. Please help me. I have looked and asked every where.
Thanks.

It'd be great if you posted some of the warnings? However can you start the game any other way apart from "full screen"? If you can, select all the lowest values you can, like textures, audio, resolution etc. Assuming you can get into those settings at all, did this help out?

If your video card or system ram is low, this can cause shutdowns. If you have played the game(s) before with no problems, switch off your machine and carefully remove your video card (keep touching the metawork of the pc case) and use an eraser on the contacts of the card. Replace video card and do the same eraser trick on your ram sticks also. The eraser is a harmless way to ensure good contact to your mobo.
