Tech assistance on a Pc shutting off randomly I have never submitted to this forum so I apologize if this is off track. I'm a poor college student at the moment needing my PC for graphic design work, so before I just start buying new hardware I'd like to make sure I get the right part. PC will shut off after an hour. Stay off. I can turn it back on immediately and it might stay on for three hours to ten minutes. Windows doesn't say it was shut down improperly. I have done malware-virus-temp-ram checks. That about sums it up. Thank you for taking the time to view this.

Specs: AMD FX-Series FX-4100 (3.6GHz)
8GB DDR3 500GB HDD
Windows 8.1 64-Bit
AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB-upgraded to a Geforce GTX 750
PSU: 300w-upgraded to a 700w (no longer have the 300w for testing due to recent move)
And because I have moved I have checked the wires to see if anything came lose. All of it is pretty snug.
Did do a Temp check and nothing out of the ordinary.
