Why does my computer restart when playing games?

Custom Built Computer Problems, Sound Loop In Games?

• I just bought all the parts needed for a gaming computer however I am having a problem with it. I get about 30 minutes to 1 hour in game until the sound starts looping, the only way to stop the sound from looping is to Alt+F4 and close the game, then I attempt to restart the game and it will not let me. Only games this has been confirmed on are Bad Company 2 and World of Warcraft, however with music playing while a game is playing the music will begin to loop.

• Answer:

  Maybe there's a problem with your sound card in which you should reinstall it again. Or maybe you need to update the drivers for the sound card.
