My PC shuts down automatically after beeping sounds when playing games like FIFA 15 , farcry 4 and GTA 5 after about 15 mins of game play. some times i ont get beep and it shuts down.
i check my cpu and gpu temps during gameplay in windowed mode.
Idle temp for CPU is 35 degree Celsius 2500 cpu fan rpm and 30-40 gpu temp
Underload cpu temp goes to 60-65 sometimes 70 and cpu fan speed 3900rpm..GPU temp under load goes to 70-80 degrees.
i have 2 fans in cabinet .
i dont know from where the beeps sound comes from. pc shut downs only when i play games. also i don know wht speed shud a cpu fan run while having temp of about 60 degrees.

AMD 4.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8350 8 Core Processor

Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard

Seasonic SII bronze 620W Power Supply

Corsair 8GB DDR3 RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

Zotac GTX NVidia 560ti 1gb ddr5 GPU
 
Solution
So the reason can be CPU overheating.
AMD CPU temps are always higher than Intel CPUs.
Try installing another CPU fan with new thermal grease.

I think the max RPM on the 8350's stock heat sink fan is 4.5k RPM so 3.9K isn't too bad. Your CPU temps are higher than recommended but not dangerous and throttling due to temperature usually takes the form of reduced frame rates unless you're hitting temps around 85C.

The crashing bit. In my experience most failures like this are memory related. So, run multiple passes of memtest and see if there's any errors, if so, replace the RAM and you should be good.

If that's not the issue, run Prime95 and see what sort of temps you're hitting under load. If the temps are near 80 or the computer crashes while running the testing you should declock the CPU and see if that helps.

no bro cpu fan used to top @7051 under load. also psu and mem are ok.
under load cpu temp goes to 60 to 65 but fan speed rarely touches 5000 rpm. earlier it used to top btwn 6500 to 7051 @65 plus degress. do u think cpu fan is faulty?

if there's 3 short beeps before shutdown. it might be a read/write error in memory module. try to remove and place the ram to another ram slot. before doing this make sure the computer is disconnected from power
