I have a problem with my computer tripping and turning off.
This happens when I play Dark Souls III and no other programs

Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard
AMD Zambezi Quad-Core F3-12800CL9S-4GBSR Processor
4 x 4gb F3-12800CL9S-4GBSR Gskill Sniper series RAM
GeForce Gtx 960ti 4gb 1.14 hrz Graphics Card
Sandisk 120 gb ssd
kingston 120 gb ssd
500 gb seagate hdd
850w EVGA GQ series Gold power supply

All this is connected to a TRIPP-LITE home theatre surge protector and a standard household 120v outlet. This was also happening with my previous 450w Power supply.

As stated before while playing DS3 about 30-60 minutes in my computer trips off. This happens at all graphic settings regardless of programs running in the background. I have also tried using msi afterburner to limit the GPU power draw but to no avail. This may also be a heating issue, although I should have the same problem with other programs if this is the case. Thank you for your time and consideration in this issue.

Any ideas why this might be happening?
