I built my computer last week. It's a completely new build. So here's the issue. Computer runs with no issues thus far while doing everyday tasks. However, when I start playing games, the computer will shut off after roughly 5 minutes. It does not restart. The issue is not heat. I exchanged the PSU with another, and the same thing occurred. I changed the voltages of my RAM to 1.7, thinking that was the problem, with no resolution. I believe the issue lies with the memory or the mobo, or the relationship between the two. I did have to manually set timings for my memory in the bios, it was running at 1066 7-7-7-20(21?) instead of 1333 9-9-9-24.
Here are my specs. If you can provide any insight, that would be great.
