When i play a game my computer shuts down after 5-10 minutes.

Yeah, that really sounds like a heat issue.

Have you been making data backups? You have, right? Religiously? What am I saying—of course you have!

You want to open the case up and blow it out. While you can certainly blow a little air into the vents and see puffs of dust escape, a lot of debris will be trapped, as long as the case is closed up.

If you're not comfortable doing this, have someone else do it.

I bet that will stop the issue.
