  1. Games shut down my computer


    So I have just been doing my gaming on my computer as usual and now my computer shuts down every about 30 minutes when playing certain games. It is not overheating of any components because I monitor that regularly and have a good computer. I have done many things to try and fix this but none are working. Does anyone have any idea why I cannot play games without my pc crashing?
