I have newly changed some of my PC components. I have mounted an corsair H60i (For the CPU) and a corsair H105 (For my graphics card). It boots up nicely but when I try to play games the PC starts to black screen (flickering on and off) and then after 10-20 sec the PC shuts down. Any ideas??

My PC specs:
Intel i7 4770k
MSI Z87 gaming motherboard
AMD radeon 7950 XFX
XFX 750 watt PSU
Cooler Master storm stryker
Hyperx SSD
Corsair H60i
Corsair H105
NZXT kraken


 
Solution
Make sure you have good thermal paste and good contact on both the GPU and CPU, and that the coolers are powered. It sounds like the system is over heating some where, so something is probably loose or not making good contact.
