I had the same problem. When playing games it uses alot of ur CPU. When using alot of ram/CPU your computer warms up and automaticly turns off so it don’t catch on fire or anything.
If you want to stop this then open up your computer tower and look for the fans: search google to locate them and just clean them out. They proberly have dust or something.
The fans keep the computer cool and stop it from overheating. If there is alot of dust it precents it from doing so.

I had the same problem a year ago while I was playing Mafia on my old laptop. Updating my drivers via Windows Update solved the problem.
Answer #13
check you temps when playing a game that shutsdown your computer. It maybe becasue the heatsink in not on properly or it just might not be big enough. I would take the heatsink off clean it with compressed air and then add thermal paste a]then install again and see what happens

I removed the dust using blower mode not the vaccum mode!!

Answer #18
90 degrees? That’s too hot. Re-seat your heatsink, It may have come loose. But really you should invest in a better one. Also get some arctic silver thermal paste, As this can reduce temps by about 10 degrees.
