Emachines shuts itself off
Ill be playing a game for a few minutes and it shuts itelf off, it does this when either the fan gets loud, or spu usage spikes. i went on bios and fixed a few things, but i think the problem may be in the power supply.

This sounds like either a power supply issue or a CPU fan issue to me. You say you hear a fan spinning loudly. Try and determine which fan it is. Take the left side panel off your case and start your game. When the fan gets loud identify which one it is. It's possible that the heatsink on your CPU is clogged up (pet dander, dust, smoke, etc.) and needs to be blown out. Get a can of compressed air and try blowing out the inside of your PC. It's possible your CPU/video card/power supply is just getting too hot.
