My cousins rig just caught on fire(sike it turned off) while playing The Evil Within. The CPU nor GPU was overclocked.

yeah, i know...i did that a while ago and thought i found the bad stick.
that solved the problem for about a year, then it started up again so i went through and thought i found another bad one.
now i have all 4 back in just to see what happens.
anyway, i really enjoyed the game.
the different stations were cool and i enjoyed listening to the random convos.
graphics were amazing and the voice acting was top notch.
the CPU getting too hot can shut down the machine. or the PSU could be dying...My cousins rig just caught on fire(sike it turned off) while playing The Evil Within. The CPU nor GPU was overclocked.

my first guess would be the power supply.
see if the fan is working in it.
After a few minutes the bios hardware monitor showed a temp of 58c. It's an AMD FX 6300 CPU
I guess so. It turned back on but I'd have to toy around with his shyt to see what's causing the issue(if it's just a one time ordeal that is.)

If its the ram thats the issue..grab up some GSkill Ripjaws ram..or Corsair Vengeance..1866 or better..

CPU's and GPU's don't have to be overclocked to get to hot...
He doing any liquid cooling? Check to make sure that is working like it's supposed to...
I had an old I5 rig where the liquid cooling stopped working and the cpu speed would be fine idle...but after say 15 minutes of game...shyt would shoot up to around 88c and the PC would shut off
My other cousin tried to see if games could play on his PC since he sees mines and my other cousins PC play games fine. His setup is a AMD A4 3400 with Radeon HD 6410D with 4GB RAM
.
I instead opted to stream the game from one rig to his and it worked nice. Lag was hardly noticeable.

ram is crazy expensive right now...i'm just gonna ride this out till prices drop.
So far borderlands is meh.
It's got microstutter too and strange fps dips for no apparent reason (it's probably a win 8.1 thing...same thing happened in BL2 with the fps dips)
Maybe I shouldn't have picked Nisha either. We'll see

Holy shyt 
I just tried playing a game on my other cousins system and I could barely hit 30fps on RE5 with all settings low @ 720P. Dude is still playing it like it's nice.

I had to quickly soak my head in some rice to draw out the impurity I saw.
