My PC specs is :

CPU : 6100 FX 3.3 GHZ
OS : Windows 7 x64
GPU : 6950 Twin Froze r II MSI
Mother board : Gigabyte 78MLT
Ram : 8 GB Kingston
PSU : Gamma 500W

This issue started one week ago Whenever i game on my PC it starts fine for about 10-15 minutes then it starts to perform at slow motion and at really low FPS then the PC might shut down or perform the same , after quitting the game if i for example watched a normal video file or watched a video on youtube then the PC instantly shuts down after a few second

I changed the motherboard and CPU and inserted a coolermaster fan as the stock fan was really really loud but that didn't change anything

So anyone can help me solving this issue

Edit : I checked GPU Temperatures and GPU Load using GPU-Z before and after two games

Before playing either games the Load was at 0% and the Temp was at 30's C , after playing Batman Arkham Knight the load jumped to 100% and the Temp was above 100c , I then played a lighter game like PES2015 and the load was at about 5-6% but the temp was as high as 100c or above and the temp at idle after playing games is around 70c

Did you check temperatures with something like HWInfo/HWMonitor? Crashing performance before a reboot seems to suggest thermal throttling followed by thermal limit trip.

A failing PSU does not typically affect performance, they usually cause crashes, random shutdowns and reboots.
