Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums here so hopefully I'm doing this right.

Anyway I recently discovered that after about 30 minutes of gaming, my computer will seemingly lose power (screen goes black) but the LED lights on the tower case remain on. I assumed that the issue stems from my PSU somehow, but before going out and buying a new one I figured I would ask to see if anyone can pinpoint the problem. I have gathered my specs here:

Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom II X4 955 53 °C
Deneb 45nm Technology
RAM
4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
BIOSTAR Group A880G+ (CPU 1) 47 °C
Graphics
FPD1976W (1440x900@60Hz)
1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 (MSI) 41 °C
Storage
931GB Seagate ST31000524AS ATA Device (SATA) 29 °C
Optical Drives
ATAPI iHAS124 B ATA Device
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio

I also took a picture of my PSU information on the side of the unit and attached it here. Any help or information would be much appreciated.

Please open your ram and clean it. It's better to clean the whole PC.
Check the cooling system (cooling fans). Make sure that these are working properly.

I pulled my RAM out and cleaned it off, but there wasn't much to clean. There was just a very slight layer of dust on it so I don't really think that was the issue. I also cleaned off the rest of the computer and that doesn't seem to have fixed it. And all of the fans run when I play a game.
