*(1080p monitor)
Have not overclocked anything or changed anything from factory settings. Just got this built from Cyberpowerpc, and downloaded several games that I purchased through Origin and Steam. First, Battlefield 4. After playing for about 10 minutes on the recommended settings (high), pc freezes, makes a whirring noise, and then shuts down and reboots. No blue screen, just shuts down and then goes right to the start up screen. Tried on lower settings, and even bumped down the resoultion with no effect.
Tried Crysis 3 (again on recommended settings) with the same problem. The last game I have tried is Skyrim, and it appeared to work fine on the recommended Ultra High settings.
Any ideas? I am wondering if maybe the CPU is bottlenecking my GPU, but this is my first gaming pc so I have no clue. For this much money, should not be crashing every 5-10 minutes. Please help.
