hmm, have you verified game chache? also reinstall steam and make sure csgo is on the C:/ drive

Software for checking temperatures of your hardware components.


Install, start speedfan, start csgo go offline bots and leave it for a bit 2-3 minutes.
And then just alt+tab and check temperatures

It seems to be linked with overheating mostly.

It should be like a safety so you dont lose your CPU GPU

Had same problem - My radiators were full of dust and PC was overheating

AFTER you get those temperatures you can simply try using commands:

fps_max 60
fps_max_menu 60

It should basically limit fps so whatever overheats wont be used fully.
But might also have no effect.

Yep, sometimes I reduce by like 30c after I clean sometimes

list your system specs and antivirus...either your specs are too low or you antivirus has hijacked your system in such way that it's disallowing you to play games.

Probably an overheat issue. The computer will shut itself off without warning to protect the hardware (and likely yourself).

Monitor your temp with an application like Speedfan or something and see how that goes.

For me the heat problem was in my GPU. I sorted my issue by making my GPU fan speed more reactive to rising temps when I turned on games, with the help of MSI Afterburner. But I wouldn't recommend doing the same with any program unless your power supply can handle excess power to what your computer actually requires, or you'll slowly burn that out instead.

My components only need a 400w supply. But I decided to put in a 500w to handle pushing that one fan a bit beyond its in-built setting.

U can find countless threads on same issue, all of them are about temperature.

I dont want to take your suggestion down, but I think he should focus on checking the temperature first.

Even huge articles like this: http://www.pcgamer.com/why-does-my-pc-reboot-while-playing-a-game/

I remember this issue here on the forums many times. Temperature too high, PC shutting down because of its safety.

Also read somewhere else that a guy had a problem with temperature sensor and simply had to remove CPU put down new cooling paste and voila.

Yep, perfect.

Using MSI afterburner myself. Mostly graphic card is on Automatic fan speed, and with many graphic cards its just like 20%-30% by default and never really changes.

Using MSI Afterburner you can set up a graph % with xC° and you can set it up to 100%
But I think I have been reading that it might reduce the lifespan of fans, and that this is why its on rather low % by default.


Still he needs to check those temps so he dont go blindly.

Mh so i have the same problem i use a program which messures my gpu and cpu temperature, and when i play csgo my cpu

My friend still has this problem and it is not the temperature, because everytime the pc shuts down it happens after a match. Always after a match not in-game or before the game

[Eat names, Take ass]

this same thing happens to me and i think its cooling related as i haven't got an optimal cooling setup in my new pc build yet. i use open hardware monitor to check my pc temps and it does get a lot hotter when palying CS:GO. (i know this isnt a salutation post but im just adding to others points :D )
