Hey guys i recently built a PC and when im playing certian games like Dragon Age, Civ 5 or Saints Row it will just cut off. I think it is the cpu cooler since its a stock one but I didnt think it would be so bad, since I'm not overclocking anything could anyone please help me out on this here is a screen cap I took the temps shown are around where the PC would possibly cut off, you might wanna add 2 degrees on the CPU socket I didnt wanna risk it getting cut off again. :p

You need to find out the model of your memory kit and see what the advertised speed and timings are and in the 3.9 page of manual, there are instructions on how and what to set.

First thing to do when in BIOS is set "load optimized default settings." Then move to section 3.9 of manual in advanced settings. Set up the memory speed and timings like they should be. Then save settings and exit bios. Boot and see if you have stability.

It won't affect anything except for the better. Should give you stability. You need to set up the BIOS and the memory speed and timings with a build, a BIOS upgrade or a simple BIOS reset. Am looking up you manual now.....

EDIT:
And sometimes bad shutdowns, power outages, brownouts and etc will cause the bios to hick-up and you will have to set it all up again.

We rank power supplies here on Toms as being Tier 1 to Tier 5, and unTiered when there have been no reputable reviews completed. We recommend that people buy a Tier 1 or Tier 2 ranked power supply.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

The EVGA 600 B unit is a Tier 3 power supply. These units have poor quality construction and/or lower quality parts inside. The results of this is often a power supply that seems to work fine for web browsing and other light tasks, but randomly causes reboots, BSOD errors, random lockups, and other strange things to happen. All of which make your life miserable.

Since the temperatures that you show in the image you link are not indicating any heat problems, I would like you to consider replacing the power supply with a high quality unit like the following one from Seasonic.

Seasonic M12II 620 BRONZE ; SS-620GM2 80Plus Power Supply
