My computer has been turning itself off during gaming and giving me no warning. I built this system about a year ago. I'm fairly certain its not overheating as Open Hardware Monitor shows all my temps in reasonable levels. I have changed out the PSU and still have the problem. I have another computer that is almost identical that has no problems. Any help would be great.

Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
Heatsink: Hyper N520
Memory: 12 GB DD3
Hard Drive: 1x 2TB and 1x 500BG
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Operation System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
Power Supply: Kingwin 610w (was Corsair 600w)

Anytime a computer shuts down without warning, that makes the power supply a suspect. What was the reason for replacing the Corsair, just out of curiosity?

I haven't been able to find much about your current power supply. Do you have a model number for it?

I switched out the Corsair to see if that was the problem, but the random shutdown occurs with the new one as well.
The Kingwin is a model: ABT-610MM

I was a bad power supply. I was just unlucky and had two faulty PSUs in a row. I replaced it on Monday and its be fine ever since. Thanks to those who answered.
