Check the system temperature. Post those values here and we'll go from there

Okay, try running the PC and playing the games, only this time, keep the cabnet open. See if you notice any diff. Also, keep an eye on the fans in the cabinet. Make sure they're spinning rapidly.

but then...if its a software prob..then how can the cpu not read the HDD only at the start...but if its a hardware prob...then y isnt it restarting now....its all too confusing......

It could be a software issue. However, the most common reason for reboots is heating. Especially since you said that the reboots occured only when you play games. It figured. While gaming, all of a PCs components are maxed out and generate a lot of heat. If after playing with the cabinet open, the system doesnt reboot, we know for sure its a heating issue. Let's observe the system for some more time and we'll go from there.
