Whenever I go to play a game, like Battlefield 4 or Counter Strike Global Offensive, my computer crashes and automatically restarts. I think this might be to a dusty Video Card because I have not cleaned the PC for several months, but I am not sure. My specs are :

Case: NZXT Phantom 410
Video Card: MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC @ 1085 MHz
CPU: Intel 3570k @3.4 GHz
CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC12DX
PSU: XFX PRO750W Core Edition
Motherboard: Z77A-GD55
RAM: Corsair 8GB (Don't Know specifics)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
SSD OS installed on: Samsung 840 Pro
SSD games installed on: Samsung 830

It's probably a software conflict or registry errors. Run CCleaner first and see if that clears it up. Also, check how much stuff you have running when Win starts. Sometimes it's best to disable as much crap as possible to avoid conflicts with poorly written software.

Thanks! Running this alongside giving more power and a higher clock allowed my games to be run normal again. Graphics Card stays at a constant 80 degrees celsius while gaming, and has enough power to run again.
