I have a Windows 10 all-in-one computer. I have Intel i5 graphics cards and whenever I try to play any sort of video game, wether it's on Steam or like Minecraft, my computer TURNS OFF. It doesn't restart just turns off
 
Solution
Check for a newer BIOS, chipset and video driver from the computer vendor support site. Install HWMonitor and see how high your temperatures get. Does the system turn off soon as you start a game? Try installing 3DMark, does it run that OK? Also run Prime95 and see if it will go through the stress test for 10-15 minutes with no issues. Keep an eye on the temperatures in HWMonitor while you run the tests to see what it reaches.
