My PC shuts down when I run games. This problem recently occurred when I installed Battlefield 3 from Origin. I am unsure as to why it started then because I have Battlefield 4 and it ran without issues. Now whenever I play any game the PC shuts off so it may be coincidence that it started upon playing Battlefield 3. I have vigorously aired out my PC and heat sink and replaced the thermal compound. I have all 3 fans in my PC, there is only 3 slots. The one in front sucks in air the side sucks in air, and back blows out air. Specs Win7 ultimate, FX-4170 quad core 4.2GHz, XFX R9-270(not 270x), 1TB hdd, 8gbs RAM, XFX Pro 650w core edition 80 plus bronze PSU, Asus M5a97 mobo. BIOS says my cpu has been around 65 degrees celsius. I also have another 500 gb hdd that I have for running dual boot Linux Ubuntu if that has anything to do with it.
