blah bah

My issue is , when browsing the net , my computer works just awesome for hours and hours but whenever i try to play games , any game for that matter , after a certain amount of time it crashes.. i monitored my temps gpu went highest till 69 (hueheu) and cpu till 61 (while playing bf3 this is) , i updated my gpu drivers to the latest ones from nvidia.com . The problem till perishes.. This kinda sucks uk , 1 years dream ruined.. for the amount of time the game runs , it runs super smooth just as you would expect from a gtx 970 , but then suddenly boom and a crash , sometimes i can ctrl alt del , and sometimes its just a blue screen error , help would really be appreciated .. Thanks

Look for the red error at the time your PC crashed. You can see what it your PC was doing right around the time it crashed.

It doesn't sound like a heating issue honestly. You can download and run something like "Speedfan" to keep an eye on internal temps.

ACPI\PNP0A0A sounds like a motherboard error. Did your motherboard come with a driver disk? Could just be a BIOS update needed but that is really unknown. You did not list which motherboard you have. Would it be an ASUS?

Got 3 ACPI errors
"The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly."
Then Critical error source kernel-power
"
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
