WildZepp, what size power supply do you have? I'd put money on your problem being that your hardware tries to draw more power than your PSU can give.
When doing normal stuff like browsing the web or playing cds, the power needed won't be much. But as soon as you start something more intensive, like the games you mention, the graphics card will demand more power. If it doesn't recieve it, the card will generate a power failure interrupt and the machine will stop working.
