When I try to run a game it will be fine for a couple of minutes but then the screen turns red and my compute restarts? I don't know what to do and would appreciate any help.

My specs are:
CPU=AMD FX-8350 black edition
Graphics= XFX R7870 core edition
Ram= corsair xms3 8gb (2x4gb)
Psu= corsair CX600M
MB= asus m5 a97 r2.0

It could also be a RAM problem. I had a similar thing happen to me and just switching out the RAM helped. Try taking out one of the sticks on RAM and then playing a game. If it still does it, try taking out the other one and putting the first one you took out back in.
