Hello guys, i dunno how to explain my problem as i have no errors showing up but i will try to explain as briefly as possible.
In the past 2 days, my pc shut down on its own around 10 times on its own, while im in game, I have to be inside a game, it has not shut down while im outside a game so far.
Here's the exact sequence of what happens-
1. Screen goes black, PC shuts down, all lights go off, fans off, Turns on again.
2.Gigabyte screen shows up, i get a menu that says Gigabyte Dual UEFI BIOS on the top but the screen is empty other than that, and it turns off again.
3. PC restarts and goes on as usual.
4. The moment i play any game when it goes on, It crashes in under 10 minutes, The same process happens again.
This is driving me insane, i cant use my pc anymore all of a sudden and its the middle of summer vacation, if you can help me out on this, i would really really appreciate it. Thank you.

PC Specs-
Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 AM3+
AMD FX-6300 Processor Clocked at 3.5 Ghz.
8 GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM Clocked at 1600 Mhz.
Asus GTX 760 DCOC2
HDD's are-
Seagate 2 TB
2x WD Black 320 GB
( I reset all clocks to default just to try that and no use.)
Things i have tried-
1. I tried cleaning the inside of my PC from all dust and dirt.
2. Tried rewiring things just incase any cables were loose.
3. Tried Underclocking everything.
4. Tried Reinstalling graphics drivers as my friends said its a GPU problem.
5. Tried disabling/enabling Shadowplay ( I thought it would make a difference )
And now i gave up and posted this.. Thank you so much for reading this and trying to help. Good Day!

Here's the thing, My PC never overheats, like Never.
My GPU never goes over 50C and CPU max is 60-70C.

Help me please guys. I'm terrified if its the GPU thats the problem, but i doubt it. I took out the GPU and cleaned the inside with compressed air and popped it back in, Been on maxed Furmark for 35 minutes, Max temp 55C and all is stable so far. I really hope its not the GPU as i can replace anything BUT the GPU.
Things i have done now to test if the issue still persists are,
1. Cleaned all fans with compressed air.
2. Changed the Ram slots * Both of em *
3. Restored BIOS settings and GPU settings to default.
Thanks for your time!
 
what utility are you using to read the temps?have you tried going to control panel>administrative tools>event viewer? here you can check for system errors in a number of areas.each error will give a brief description of the problem and can steer you in the right direction to diagnose the problem.if there are a large number of errors you can also clear the logs and see what comes back after a crash.

I tried SpeedFan and HWMonitor, the logs say error 6008 and it just says system shutdown unexpectedly or something of that sort.
Thanks for your input

Thermaltake 550W PSU.
I don't know how to rewire the whole thing so I can't try another PSU, I'll have to take it to a repair store.
