Computer CPU problem?
Help! I've recently opened my computer and I've damaged the CPU's fan. My dad wired everything back together, but when I play video games the computer shuts off automatically. What do I do?

It's because the CPU is overheating and it is shutting down the PC to protect it from damage.
You'll have to buy a replacement fan/CPU cooling unit and get it installed. It doesn't sound like you are too savvy with that yet so I suggest you either have a tech do it or someone who really knows how to do it. Doing it wrong can destroy the CPU.
