Sry about my English

my pc spec :
1. AMD 8350
2. Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
3. VGA : Sapphire 280X Toxic (Driver 14.4)
4. RAM 8G
5. PSU 850W

7. window 8.1 pro 64 bit (license) and lastest updated

my pc alway auto-restarting when i killing mobs or players in zoom in view.
i.e. like moving scorebar to maximun zoom in on mouse and use single skill and aoe on mobs or players in wvw.

but in normal view it seem fine. i can run with map zerg and fighting with other map zerg without auto-restarting.

any suggestion ?

Most likely scenarios include defective (or going bad) or inadequate power supply or a defective memory stick. 95% of system reset issues are one of these 2 things.

There is an off chance it could be video driver issue (but that would likely cause a BSoD with an error rather than a full reset).

VERY slim chance it could be a video card seating issue.

Your graphics card is factory overclocked, it should be stable but this may be an edge case where it just fails.
Also be sure that your power supply can actually handle your graphics card and all the rest of your stuff.

Auto restarting has normally 2 reasons, either its a bluescreen, and you have the option checked for auto restart, so look first and disable that option so that you get a bluescreen.

If you still get restarts after that it can also be that your power supply has “aged” and doesn’t has enough power anyomore, and so sometimes your computer just restarts.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

This is a good point as since Win XP SP1 the default for MS OSs is to restart on a BSoD (but you should see the BSoD flash on the screen momentarily before the restart). This can be disabled (Windows 7) via:
COMPUTER PROPERTIES > ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS > ADVANCED (tab) > STARTUP AND RECOVERY (SETTINGS…. button) > Uncheck AUTOMATICALLY RESTART (under SYSTEM FAILURE).
You should then be able to discern the BSoD failure (trap) code and search on it to find more details.
