[QUOTE="TrueReligion_"]Sounds like a PSU problem.roulettethedog
Or a video card problem. Does the poster have another video card to see if the problem is P.S.U. or VGA?
I'd personally like to know more information about the PSU, including the make and model. I feel as if the problem is linked to the PSU, since it's shutting off on GPU intense programs that require a significant amount of power from the GPU only to trigger a full shut-down. At this point, it can be anything--but I'm betting it's the PSU.
The problem is likely the PSU, or the VGA. Its possible that the fan may have died when playing cod2. Or the power supply has warn out, and can't provide enough juice. Check and open your case and see if your video card's fan is spinning.
