Based on the above set up Im very suprised this is happening . This only happens when i play BF3 and the settings i play on are only on High .

Could be a heat issue. Have you checked your temps before your computer shuts it self down?

BF3 and BF4 do this to many computers. I create OC profiles on each build for both CPU and GPU OCs..... the "stock" speed profiles are there for when users have trouble with BF3/BF4

It's probably a heating issue like someone up there said. run a temperature monitor in the background and see what's the max temperature was before shut down.

Are you using the stock cooler on the 8350? As the 8350 is a very power hungry CPU and creates a fair amount of heat. If it is a heating issue it could be a VRMs overheating causing a shut down as I know the VRMs didnt cope well with my 8350 on an ASUS mobo with a 970 chipset. It kept throttling it to cool down.
