Hello, few days ago while i was playing Tera Online, i notice a smell like a burning plastic on my cpu, then i turned it off, after smelling everything i pin point where the smell is coming from, its in the psu, then i cleaned everything, clean the dust etc, after cleaning then resting my cpu for a couple of hours, then i started to play again, this time everything works fine, but yesterday when every i try to open Tera,Dota, or any games the pc reboot or shutdowns, then i clean it up again, but after cleaning it up, my monitor wont start it only says power saving or something but the cpu is turned on, then after that i remove my gpu then plug the monitor cable into motherboard, then it loads and now here i am, so what do you think is the problem? i think its the psu, my psu is 4years old, Fortress 700watts my gpu is gts450,

another thing before everything that happen i notice something in my cpu whenever i play something, it seems like the fan is running then stopping then running again then stopping again
 
Solution
i suggest you to test your system with other PSU/GPU and/or test your GPU in other pc, with different PSU.

Maybe you PSu have burned some module wich your GPU was using it.
