Hello
Problem : I bought my pc in 2011
Till now didnt have any problems , but lately i am getting one problem.
When i play games , for about 20mins or 30 mins laters i get BSOD
After that i restart the pc, I get the american megabrands screen telling that " cpu over temperature"
So i turned on the AC in my room , i was like freezing but wanted to play the game ...and again i got the same bsod and now telling that " power surge detected "in the american megabrands screen !! :/  :(

Hmm what would be your power supply model and make?
As for the CPU, you might need a new one or clean your computer for any dust hampering the ventillation and CPU fan performance.

I can't seem to find the Corsair TX 600, did you mean CX 600w?
If so, the CX series is a lower quality tier of power supply which could cause some issues.
The problem could also just be cause be a faulty PSU, as power surge protection is related to power supply problems if I'm not mistaken. For the CPU overheating, I would recommend you buy an aftermarket one and not freeze yourself in your room :)

TX corsair 600 was an enthusiast series in corsair back in 2011.
Its about 4 years from now,so they must have re named their products . :/ 
I will buy cooler for cpu , but ,my question is till now i didnt such problems like" power surge or cpu over heat "
So should i disconnect my 3 fans inside the cabinet and see ?

I am aware that the TX series is enthusiast level hardware. CPU overheat can only mean one thing: the CPU is overheating. As for the power surge detected, it's usually the motherboard that sends out that signal when something isn't right with the power supplies power delivery. It could just be faulty and you could turn it off, but it's always better to figure it
out. Even if your power supply is a TX series, even high quality PSUs can go bad after wear. I don't think unplugging the fans will make a difference since they usually draw a very small amount of current. Has the problem only happened once? Or does it happen all the time?

You will probably need to swap out the power supply for a new one, unless you can test another power supply in there. If you come up with the same problem, it may just be an issue with the power surge protection on the motherboard. In that case, just disable it in the BIOS.

If you are running the stock AMD cooler that came with the 970, even though you have no dust the cooling fan on the heat sink could very well be failing as it is 3 years old.

I suggest going to an aftermarket CPU cooler something like > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200071, since you are not overclocking this is all you would need.

It comes with an AMD hold down clip, and it's heat pipe design and 120mm PWM cooling fan will run much cooler and quieter, than the stock AMD cooler ever did
