First time posting, hope this is the right section

I just built a pc a month ago, and over the last few days I've been experiencing random shutdowns while gaming.

It only happens when I play higher end games, so at first I thought it was a temp issue. After constant monitoring I have yet to see anything go over 50c, kinda rules that out.

Also, after the shutdown the computer will not start until I unplug the power cable and plug it back in. I have a corsair cx750. It looks like a psu problem but I figured I'd get other opinions on potential fixes before replacing it.

My specs are

I7 4770k
3gb geforce Gtx 780
Asrock z87 Pro4 mobo
Crucial ballistix 8gb ddr3 1600 ram
120gb Samsung ssd 840 Evolution
1tb Wd SATA
