Hello my computer just shuts off without warning after anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes of use. I have reset my computer to factory default, cleaned all dust from within the computer, and taken the video card out and that hasn't stoped it. All fans are working. My specs are:
Computer: ACPI x64-based PC
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT
Processors: AMD FX 4100 Quad Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI 760Gm
Ram: 8GB DDR3-SDRAM
Thanks.

Try downloading RealTemp and HWInfo64 to monitor your temps, it may be overheating.

Check your version of motherboard, you might be using the wrong CPU which means that although it fits the socket, you won't get much performance past 30% and could cause the current issues if you try to use a game that is more than Spider Solitaire.

I just noticed that you don't have a PSU, that could account for something.
