AMD FX 8350 8-Core 4.0 processor
8 Gigs of Ram
GTX 670 Video Card
1.5 TB WD HD
600 Watt TT PSU

My computer randomly turns off while playing games no matter what I do. I replaced the video card, the ram, and the power supply; still nothing. The motherboard and processor are both less than a year old.

I get new bluescreen, and event-viewer only records the improper shut-down. ; Temperature levels reach a maximum of 45 Celsius

Well; As much as I would like for the answer to be that simple- I had same issue prior to replacing the PSU; hence the reason I replaced it.

I have the same problem sometimes.

there are a number of causes from what I've found.

1.) Your graphics card drivers are not installed (There's a chance it could have failed to install some files)

2.) For this one, I take it you are trying to play high-end/new-released games such as ArmA III & Battlefield etc. If so then you're power supply is not capable of holding all 8 cores and play the game at the same time.

- Simple (Temporary Fix)
Step 1.) In Steam (If you use it) right click on a game you play and click 'properties'
Step 2.) Click 'Set launch options...'
Step 3.) Type "-cpuCount=4" without the quotation marks
Step 4.) Hope that it works for most of your games.

If the PC itself is shutting down, that almost certainly means the PSU can't power it at sustained full load. That is why we never recommend cheap low-tier PSUs, regardless of how much power they claim they can put out. Its *possible* its the motherboard, but when I see a cheapo-brand PSU, I automatically suspect it.
