Computer goes into power saving mode randomly

Closed

Hi,
I was playing tf2 today when my computer suddenly went to power saving mode and then restarted itself. I didn't think much of it, and started playing again. A while after, it happened again, although the computer did not restart and I could still hear my friend on Skype. The power button wouldn't do anything and nor would the keyboard, so I had to switch it off by the plug. Both times this happened one of my fans went really loud. This has never happened before so I'm quite worried I broke something. I then changed the power settings to high performance and made it so it never sleeps etc but it still happens.

PC Specs I also have an ssd(with my os on) which is not listed there. I've only had my pc for about 4 months.

No giveaway unfortunately. Thanks in advance.

Are you at stock speeds for your cpu? C states enabled or disabled? spread spectrum enabled or disabled for cpu or pci?

That would be my first guess, too, but I'm no hardware expert.

It seems an overheating problem. I use this to monitor temperatures and fan RPMs.
