Wirednate 0 Posted July 7, 2012 I have a question reguarding my friend. His computer shut off while playing DayZ, and he says it isn't going back on. And he said it might be his power source. Could DayZ have ruined his Power Source? He said that DayZ takes up loads of CPU, is that also true? Is it possible this game could break someones computer? I REALLY love this game, and I hope the answers to these questions are "No". But, yea please reply and let me know. Thanks!And should u have a certain amount of power supply to play this game?

PkStormx 23 Posted July 7, 2012 yeah, programs cant really break a PC like that, he may have an old PC, or if hes Overclocking then its unstable.so to put it short....DayZ isnt going to wreck your computer, so dont worry.the reasons why that could be happening is that it may be over heating (To prevent damage when the CPU reaches a certian temp it will hit a kill switch), in that case tell him to replace the thermal paste on his computer, and possibly install and 3rd party air cooler.~~~Edit...if his computer isnt turning back on then he blew something out in his computer...it could be his PSU (Power Supply), Mobo, CPU, GPU, etc...it can really be anything in the computer, how old is the PC?

Wirednate 0 Posted July 7, 2012 @PkStormxWell, his computer isn't that old at all, I'd say like 8-9 months... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PkStormx 23 Posted July 7, 2012 Going to need details on his computer, possibly he has faulty parts.and could you go into more detail about his computer, is it turning on, but not booting up, or just not turning on or what?if you can explain the situation in full detail i may be able to pinpoint the problem.

Wirednate 0 Posted July 7, 2012 Well, I had a little talk with him. He told me he didn't start having these problems until he started to play this game. This is what he thinks happened: " I think it kept overheating on this game because the world is so large and my PSU might not be able to handle it and maybe the psu just overheated too many times and broke". *Extra Details* = No, his computer isn't turning on at all.
