I got the same. It was a virus done a scan and it was gone, no real problems. I think my anti virus picked it up when i got a driver error :)

You can do a system restore, if nothing important has been intalled recently.

I can't say anything about that error, but I guess it could be the video card drivers, if you haven't, download and install the newest ones.

Other reason for unexpected restarts is that your pc may be overheating, since it happens only when playing games.

Do you remember what changes you did to your computer before the restarts? Any program you installed, hardware... we could start from there.

a system restore isnt always the answer

have you recently installed any software?

RE: Random Restarts
For your new problem ^^

Maybe you changed to a display resolution not supported by your monitor or video card, change to a lower one (Right click on desktop --> then properties --> Settings Tab). Check the refresh rate too and change to a lower one (From Settings Tab --> Advanced Button --> Monitor Tab --> Refresh Frequency.

If it happens only when starting a game, check the setting within the game.

My computer randomly restarts when it overheats.

>> I found that my computer tower was too close to the wall, therefore could not let any of the heat out the back of the computer. So now I have my desk away from the wall, leaving a gap for the hot air to get out.

Yup, this is very common, specially in hot places or when the pc box is in a desktop cabinet. Either move it away or get a better cooling solution. My pc had a place in the back for a fan, and made a cutout on the top and installed another 120mm fan to exhaust the hot air inside. Never had any overheating problems again.
