PC turns off on certain games

[Brontides]

Every time i turn on World of Warcraft, or something like skyrim, EVEN COD 4! When my pc turns off and a red light flashes in my pc, it does not turn off however on games like Counter-Strike or Borderlands 2, or even Battlefield 4. I dont know what is making this happen

I suggest you start learning from the basics, i.e. how to find what parts you have in the computer. Without that level of basic understanding it's impossible to help.

If you want a resolution right now, go take it to a professional (but don't let the machine out of your sight, some places are sketchy as hell), because there's nothing more that can be done here without proper information

Make sure the CPU and GPU fan is working properly, and is free of dust. I would check your CPU and GPU temps to verify you don't have an overheating problem. Check for any malware, using malwarebytes, Make sure Windows, and your drivers are up to date.

Attempt a balanced gaming benchmark to verify stability.
I would recommend downloading the 3d mark demo from the steam store free of charge that will give you 4 gaming benchmarks varying in difficult try to make your way up them until the system becomes unstable.

Overheating problem? Perhaps your CPU or GPU are getting too hot.
