i have had this problem for a little over 2 weeks now and im not sure whats wrong with it.
when i play games my computer crashes and i have to restart it. i have noticed no pattern in the time period before it will crash and im really confused why its happening. i was looking around and saw that it could be my gpu overheating but i checked the temps of it when gaming and they are fine not at all to high. i have ordered some compressed air canisters and im going to clean out the fans and that when they arrive but does anyone have any ideas why its happening?

you might also wanna check if maybe ur hard drive is faulty, or maybe there's not enough airflow in ur pc? or it could be cuz ur psu isn't providing enough power. what tower do u have? what cpu heatsink and fan do u have? do u have any extra fans in your tower? and what power supply do you have (how many watts, and what brand) also what are all of ur pc specs? i might be able to help u out
