whilst playing high performance games. At a random moments my computer reboots and the cpu fan speeds up to max.

Just to add more detail.Iv tested my CPU with real temp and with maximum load it running at 46C. This only happens in games. Here's my specs

Processor Intel Core i5-650
Processor external bus 200MHz (2.5GT/s DMI)
Processor multiplier x24
Processor clock speed 3.2GHz
Processor socket LGA1156
Memory 4
Memory type PC3-10666
Maximum memory 16GB
Motherboard Acer Predator G5900
Motherboard chipset Intel H57
Graphics card Nvdia GTX 580


 
Solution
Check the Windows Event Log and see if there's an application or system error.

Download a program like "Bluescreen view" and see if there's an error.

I would guess it's your PSU though.


If it's heat, you will probably just get errors and crashing or slow downs. The CPU can run past 90c without damaging the chip in theory.

cheers it is my power
 


Sounds accurate. With no BSOD, Windows is not reporting any hardware failure. That means the OS shut down before it could complete a report; ie the power went off.
