Weird STEAM Issue

[Carolinas Identity*]

So, randomly, about a week ago, my Steam started doing this weird thing where I'll just be playing any game, and my computer will randomly shut off and restart, like the game doesn't crash or anything, the computer literally turns off, then immediately back on again. And this only happens when playing a game on Steam, literally everything else that isn't connected to Steam works 100% fine. I've had Steam since it first came out in 2003 and never seen anything like this before? Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Like I said, it's completely at random. I was on various different games for like 12 hours yesterday and it was fine, but today, it's done it four times in the past 30 minutes. It's bizarre.

Did you try GPU-intensive games outside of Steam? And have you cleaned out your fans lately?

Yes to both, and out of curiosity, I ran a super low intensive STEAM game (NWN 2 last update was 2009), and even that crashed it. I am at a loss.

Strange. Have you tried re-installing Steam?
