So I built a new computer downloaded some games like battlegrounds h1z1, when I play the games I can play for about 30-45 minutes and then my Pc reboots, monitor goes unresponsive and my fans go turbo. Sometimes I can play for longer periods of times but when I ult + tab or close the game my Pc reboots and fans go turbo. Please help.

Solution
Yup but if your last install didn't have the boot device set to AHCI do so. AHCI is a better performance setting for the boot drive. See the boot option 2 in the image.
