Two years ago I built my computer according to the recommendations made by a friend of mine. The items of interest were:

-MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

-GIGABYTE GV-N460OC-1GI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (Two of them)

-CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B (Two of them)

-Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K

-Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C, 80Plus Bronze Certified,Modular Cable Design,ATX12V v2.3/ EPS12V,SLI Ready,CrossFire Ready,Active PFC"Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply

It worked well and I was able to play everything including Bioshock Infinite on high settings until a few months ago. After that my computer would shut down in the middle of game play. I thought it was related to overheating until it happened after my computer had only been on for like five minutes and HWMonitor didn't show any high temps anywhere.

I thought it may have been the graphics card so today I went out and bought a Geforce GTX 760 by EVGA and it happened again. I have front, top, and rear fans on high and the card has its own fans.

What's the problem?

Some DxDiag stuff for good measure...

No I don't. I didn't think the PSU would go so quickly considering it is 1000W and it has only been two years.

I was shopping around and I still like the PSU I have so I want to order another one. Do you think it is okay?

I don't unfortunately. I am not close with the person who helped me two years ago so I've been relying on the internet to diagnose the problem :x
