I don't know why but if I play CS:S or any other games, my computer crashes.

I have:
Operating System: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i7 2.80GHz
RAM: DDR3 8GB
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB
Hard Disk: 1TB (919GB)

Anyone know why?

It could be malicious content on your compute if you have any type of anti-virus protection I would suggest running a scan of your computer. If you don't then you need to go get some and then run a scan on your computer.
 
You said you have Avast AND AVG. 2 anti virus programs running = disaster lol
 
Are you getting blue screen error?

Have you got your drivers up to date?

Is it source engine games crashing, or games in general?

Games in general, it doesnt have to do with steam games.
And i dont know how to upgrade my graphic card engine, can someone help? o-o

And its not BSOD it just turns off, not restart, just power off
 
PSU runs out of juice?
Just an idea.

That sounds like a good possibility. If it was overheating, drivers, or anything of the sort you would get a BSOD and restart. Even malware would give you a BSOD of some sort, or at least make your computer restart, not turn off.

Can you tell us how many watts your PSU is? You may need to upgrade that, even though the i7 and 4650 shouldn't be too power hungry. (btw, if you have your i7 overclocked up to 2.8 gigs, then you may want to push it back to factory specs to see if that helps).

Ah, on a different note, remove AVG. It's hardly worth your time anymore unless you purchase it. Keep avast (or Avira, highly recommended) and download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). MBAM doesn't have a system guard, but the scan is much better than most and it searches where other scanners avoid/neglect.
 
1. Open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Event Viewer.

2. Click an event log in the left pane.

3. Double-click an event to view the details of the event.

Try googling some error codes you may find there.

Upgrading your Graphic card should be available on its website. Example my nVidia. I download them at nVidia website!
