My Computer Crashes Everytime I Play a Game

Everytime I play a video game my computer shuts off after a few minutes of playing.
Some games seem to take a while, such as Tropico 5. I can play Tropico 5 for hours and then it'll crash. Most games only take a few minutes. For instance, WarThunder takes around the same time as Watch_Dogs, which takes about 10 minutes.

It doesn't say that the computer is overheating or anything.
It just shuts off out of no where.
I updated my video drivers and it said my sound card drivers were up to date so I don't know what's the problem.

Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600)
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.5 GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Harddrive Space: 1.43 TB free of 1.81 TB

Hello... As a simple test, remove a cover from your Computer case, and see if this allows you extended play time.

I've already had one side of the case open. It doesn't really help.

sounds a bit like your running out of power, how many watts is your PSU and do you have anything overclocked?

use this to see if there is any minidump files http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed then this one on the sensor part for temp and voltages http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php


So I ran the WhoCrashed and it says that the last crash was on the 19th, even though I crashed last night and today.

I also ran the other program on "Sensors Only" and this is what it brought up. I don't know what to do, haha:

Hello... Start Task Manager- Performance-Resource Monitor- CPU
Are any of your Cores parked in Windows? The Graphics on the right side will display text next to the CPU#.

CPU 4 and 5 become parked every few seconds it seems. The rest don't seem to be parked.
