When I play certain games, my computer black screens and shuts down, then instantly restarts itself. I haven't tested every single game I own, but the ones which typically cause this issue for me are Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege. I have no problems playing less intensive games such as League or Hearthstone.
I have had my system for a little over a year and played these games frequently without experiencing any issues. About a month or two ago, my PC began crashing in these games, and eventually got to the point where I couldn't even make it to the main menu in R6 without my PC shutting itself down and restarting. I noticed that my PC was running quite warm, and my CPU cooler was pretty lackluster, so two weeks ago I bought a new one as well as another case fan in hopes that that was the issue. This caused my CPU temps to drop by around 25 degrees C both idling and under load (now at around 35-44 C idling, 47-54 C under load). For about a week and a half, this seemed to have fixed the issue, and I had no problems running any games I wanted. However, yesterday the issue began popping up again. It is not as severe as before in the sense that I can now run R6 or Overwatch for a few minutes before my computer shuts down, but I cannot continuously play them without the issue occurring.
I have updated my GPU drivers, tried closing all other programs and then running the games, closed my peripherals' software before launching, but nothing seems to work and I haven't been able to find any threads or articles which mention the PC shutting itself all the way down, everything just gives solutions for when just the game is crashing, but my issue unfortunately is more severe than that. Not really sure what the problem is at this point or what to do next. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
