I have been having problems with my computer recently, when ever i put my computer under load the power just cuts out no error message or anything at all. It happens mostly when I run games. When i run games like Bioshock Infinite or Farcry 3 my computer jut cuts out from the word go. But if I run say TF2 I can play for about 5 minutes before it cuts off. At first i thought it was a over clocking issue but my GPU is only at 65*C and my CPU 45*C so I forgot about that idea, But i wondered also if my case fans are in the correct position. I have 2 100mm case fans one blowing air in at the front and one blowing air out at the back and 2 120mm ccase fans both blowing air in at the side. is this the correct position. There is no were else for them to go so I could only change the direction that they are facing. There is also space for the the air to go out of the top and bottom.
Thanks for any help.

If temps are low, then it's not fan's and it's not overheating and shutting down. Overheat sometimes tends to bluscreen first, or graphic artifacts in games start to happen first.

Direct shutdown under load sounds like PSU and looking up reviews on that PSU, it's a cheap, crappy PSU. I bet that is the beloved patriot in your armour. Temps are fine, rest of your system seems fine.

no they must blow out the air otherwise you're fan will blow warm air into the case the thing about case fans are to blow out the warm air you're temps seem fine but to me thats pretty hot for a gpu so make sure all fans are blowing out the air

yes as getochkn mentioned it may be you're power supply you're gpu takes 250watts and cpu probably 95watts with overclocking and cheap power supply no matter how many watts it has and does not have 80+ bronze certified i guess we now what the problem is know. change you're psu hands down.

oh really my gpu uses 250 watts? on the box it says i need a 750watt psu so i assumed this one would do. this psu is from a year old system i just upgraded.
 
Not all 750w PSU's are created equal. Probably 80% of them are crap out there. If your PSU is as light as a box of crackers, it's crap regardless of the rating on it. lol. A good PSU is heavy, it has to be for the components it needs to truly make 750w at full peak load. I've seen so many crappy PSU's and they are all light as a feather.
