My specs are:
i5 3570k @ stock speed
hyper 212 evo cooler
gigabyte gtx 770 2gb
cosair cx600m psu 80+
and 8gb ram

The last 2 days I have been playing CS:GO and my pc just freezes then turns off.
The first time it completely turned off with no warning.
And this time the fans revved up and my sound stuttered and my screen went black so I turned it off.

After the first time I ran HW Monitor to check the temps and my gtx 770 went 66C max and it can go up to 85C I believe, My CPU never went over 45.

Any suggestions? or maybe solutions?

you may have to go with a bit better psu a cx600 is for mid-range builds you're build is abit to powerful for this psu go with a higher one.

Haveyou checked your event viewer after a crash? Forget about the kernal power critical fault that always comes up after a crash but any warnings could be helpful < have you updated any drivers or windows updates in the last 2 days?

Yea I checked the event viewer and nothing came up, also I have had the gtx 770 for over a week and had no problem playing dayz for like 5 hours straight, just been recently.

Also will amazon take back my psu since I only bought it last week?

if the pc restarts by itself in gaming means its protecting itself to prevent damage the psu's power is insufficient because of the components running max power.

it doesnt matter how long you had it for. this psu is good to meet atx specs and not recommended for stressful situations which means you need a better power supply.
