Does your PC shut down while playing games? here is the solution:
it is the Bios Setup! YES! you will find in section "PC Health" a warning temperature. this causes your pc to shut down instead of giving you a warning. so you either raise the warning temp or disable the warning and everything will be fine!
Hope that helps! it WORKED with me! (my warning temp was at 60 degrees. i raised it to 70 and the pc does not shut down now while playing)
