The computer turns off in games
Help is needed! This crap started about 2 months ago. The computer turns off in some games at certain points. For example, take Skyrim: a new game starts without problems, you just need to go through the game just a little bit, save the game and exit, then go back in and try to load from the main menu, then the computer turns off, but if you start a new game and load the save through it, then everything is working. Or another example of DayZ SA, this game simply does not have time to load into the menu, and the computer turns off immediately. There are also some MMO games. All this happens at a certain point. It is hardly a matter of overheating. I changed the thermal paste the other day, smeared Deepcool Z5. I blame either the video card or the PSU. I mainly think about the video card, tk. for verification I asked a friend for geforce gt 640, DayZ SA started without problems, I did not test on other problem games. However, in all other games, except for some specific ones, it behaves normally, with the exception of dropping frequencies for a few seconds until it cools down from 65 ° to 62 ° and so on ad infinitum. My system: GPU - GeForce GTX 550ti 1GB ddr5 192bit, Driver version 372.70; CPU - AMD FX-4100; BP-company DNS DNP-450 for 400W; Motherboard - asrock 960gm-gs3 fx; RAM - Kingston HyperX FURY Black Series 4GBx2 (works in dual channel mode)I would like to add. Now I turned off the 6-pin power supply from the video card, and it smells burnt, what is this power supply unit?

and you want us to guess?
Power Supply! Did you guess right?
Thermal paste!
Vidyaha! Drivers!
Give it up for diagnostics and don't worry! There are no psychics here.
I had such a situation when the fans were covered with vidyuhi, then I bought a small fan and removing the side cover of the system unit directed the air flow to the video card, it did not overheat and everything worked fine.

I tried to direct air to the video card, it stops dropping frequencies, but the computer still turns off.
There were similar problems. I could only play games that were not heavily loaded on the system. The reason turned out to be a defective railway wire.
either the power supply or the nastiest nuisance of the fx processor. but it did not turn off but flew into a blue screen or rebooted.
in theory, there is a standard stress test benchmarks, its atm will burn out or not, and the software or hardware problems in it will be more clear.
