In most cases these type of problems are due to cooling of your PC. Playing games will heavily require CPU and GPU performances, and as you know these two components on their own are enough to raise the temperature of you system. So better check out your cooling mechanism if you have some high end components installed on your PC.

Another possible explanation is that your power supply is not working properly. If you have any knowledge in this field just check it out.
