Now the rest of the story.... I have also ran Motherboard Monitor 5 on the computer to make sure that it is not overheating. Its not! I have formatted the machine. It still restarts. I also did the usual reinstalling drivers, Direct X etc. etc. Every time that i run these certain games the computer still restarts does anybody have an idea what this could be and why?
 
Try setting your computer to not automatically rebooting on system failure. You'll get BSOD, but at least you might get an error message to troubleshoot your problem.

Control Panel
System
Advanced tab
Startup and Recovery
Uncheck box for Automatically reboot

Reboot your system
 
This is the problem now though. I just did what you said.. It went to BSOD but here's the catch. It was just a blue screen. With no text Tried it a couple of times and the same situation happened. Im not sure what i need to do to fix this problem its like the error is so bad it cant error. lol But i can use the machine anytime else and it works great! Just playing certain games. But there games that should work fine. Any other ideas
