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)

That's a good workaround, but it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is overheating - 70 degrees C is very hot. Continuing to run at those temperatures will shorten the life of your hardware, and will eventually result in the computer shutting down due to component failure, and not just overheating.
