i have an AMD XP2000+ processor. all the fans (case, CPU, video card) seem to be working, but still when i'm playing games or something the PC reboots after a while. i'm fairly sure its a heat problem, as it only happens while playing games. also, right after it reboots if i check the BIOS and it has the system stats or whatever, the CPU temp is 69 degrees Celsius, and the shutdown mark is 70. but if all the fans work why is this happening?! help!

I have the same system and the same problem What I did was put more fans and I position them in a way that helped circulate cooler air and get rid of the hotter air My computer runs at 37-45 celsius, even when I'm playing a game.
