[SOLVED] Why when i play with high fps my PC shuts down?

[martynasgudzinskas]

So when i play games with 150~ fps or more my PC just shuts down.

Specs:

MB ASRock G41MH/USB3
PSU 430W
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.00GHz
GPU AMD RADEON R9 280
RAM 8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 552MHz

I'm far from an expert but it seems like the GPU might be drawing too much power for your power supply or home electricity. If this isn't the cause then it is probably to prevent damage from the GPU overheating. If you're comfortable with it, look into underclocking the GPU and lowering the power it will draw, but locking the FPS would be safer.

R9 280 needs at least 650W to run properly.
