REgarding Switchoff Problem With My System

Hello,

I seem to have run into some problem with my new system.. I am facing switchoff problems with my system while playing certain heavy games like crysis 2 whereby while playing the system suddenly switches off, and the temperature of the processor shoots above 90 degrees. Rest everything appears to be fine. Could anyone help me with it what could possibly be the reason for it??? This is my configuration:

AMD FX 8150
Gigabyte GA 990xa UD3
Corsair Vengence 8 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 6850
Coolermaster HAF 932 Chasis

Please help!

Is the temp 90°C at shut down? What PSU do you have?

I think the boards protection is shutting down. Is your cpu fan spinning?

When you built the system, did you remember to remove the little plastic off the bottom of the heatsink?

Are you overclocking?

The only thing that should ever get near 90 would be a video card(but yours should not be quite that hot).

90C????? There is no way that your cooler is mounted on properly.

Wow, did not think turbo core would get THAT hot. Either way, if you want some extra cooling and the performance boost that turbo core offers, something like the 212+ or evo is a great cooler for the price.
