My computer just randomly keeps turning itself off, normally its when I play games but occasionally not. At first I thought It was overheating so I installed some monitoring software and It was no overheating. I have checked to see that everything is plugged in properly and secure and everything is. I'm stuck and I have ran out of ideas on what to do. Please help I think it may be something to do with the CPU or PSU any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Also sometimes this incident wont happen for weeks but when it does happen my computer ends in a continous reboot.

What are your system specs? It might sound like your power supply is struggling to keep up with what your system demands. That would also explain why it happens during gaming sessions, I suppose.
