Just noticed today that my PC shuts down. My graphic card turns off and my monitor trys to find a connection and then my PC shuts down. WTF? How do i even try going about to solving this issue?

Temps are fine on my CPU and Videocard. Everything is at 41c. The PC was just idle and it restarted. Really weird. It sucks because my dog broke my USB ports last week when i had my Xbox 360 controller plugged in(He landed on the port) and i also got a new graphics card. Im "mind boggled" on what the problem is since i changed parts recently and got my USB ports broken. Im thinking its a faulty graphic card or the USB port screwed something up. Because when my dog landed on my USB port the computer shut off so im thinking it surged something.

41c isnt high at all considering its 80F here. Was the same temps last year around this time. Also if its just at 41c while being idle it wouldnt trigger a restart. It's a hard restart too. When the computer reboots i get to the Windows screen of "Windows wasn't shut down properly"
