my specs:
Windows 7 ultimateOS
8gigs of RAM
Intel i7-4770@3.40 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 520

So here's the problem

Everything was fine a year ago..now for the past few weeks I cannot play a game for more than 15minutes. My computer restarts frequently when i play video games. Only video games. I can run applications like After Effects, Blender, Photoshop all day long
I tried disabling the GPU but it won't allow me to run ARMA 3(the game I am trying to play).

Have you checked temperatures while gaming?
Curious about CPU but more so the older GPU.
.. is it full of dust or is it clean?
Confirm that, and you may also want to look at permanent software
to monitor GPU temperature and control fan rpm curve (and O/C).
