Hey guys, I've been looking around and have read many threads about this problem, but the solutions offered haven't remedied my issues, maybe someone can finally shed some light on my issue.
I made a custom PC back during December of 2013

and it works fine for low end tasks like programming/media/low requirement games, but as soon as I start playing any triple A style over-the-top game, my computer decides to shut down on it's self with no warning. Normally I would think this is a heating problem and I've taken my baby apart and re-coated her thermal paste, gave her a thorough dusting, and re-wired everything (from case fans to re-inserting everything on the motherboard) yet I'm still suffering from the total power kill, so I went in an got a 800W PSU, still no improvement. I don't have the money to get/test any new GPUs or CPUs but I did take her in to have some guys run it through the hardware gauntlet and they couldn't find any problems with either of them. This problem only exists while gaming, my heats peak at 70-80 at most and I almost always have a high powered desk fan blowing air out of my case sitting right next to it. My parts are a bit dusty, but I haven't suffered any fan speed drops. I have no idea whats wrong, and its getting kinda annoying when I can't even play BF3 for more than 10 minutes
