Computer crashes when playing games.

[SmartStarfish]

Ok. I took my pc into the shop and they said all the hardware is working correctly.

AMD 4.0 gHz 8 core
8 GB g-skill ram
8 GB kingston ram
radeon r9 270 gfx
msi 970A-G43
128 ssd
1tb hd

What happens is I go in game and it runs for about 5 mins then reboots the whole system. It has never crashed playing Hearthstone, minecraft, or using it on chrome or anything. But when it comes to the games: Dota 2, Diablo 3, Dungeon Defenders, and Dungeon Defenders Eternity.

Whats your psu? Also, have you tried turning down the graphics settings?

The games you mentioned that crash the system has significantly higher load that means more power consumption. My suspect is the PSU. and you haven't mentioned your psu make and model which is very helpful in issues like these.

check your temperatures cpu and gpu......have u overclocked any thing put them into default clock speed then update your bios and you have not mentioned your psu you will need a good 500-550 watt of psu for your system with more than 24amps @ 12+ volt in a single rail.......
