Really sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum!

Hey guys! I've been having a problem recently where my desktop Pc shuts off when playing games (like cs:go and the witcher 2). It doesn't seem to be doing this when I'm just browsing the web and it gives me no warning and no crash report after. I've checked that nothing is overheating, my gpu and cpu only get up to 50 degrees Celsius and are only using about half of the wattage my Psu puts out. Here are my specs, any help?

MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K
RAM: 8gb Corsair dual channel DDR3
GPU: ASUS HD7970 Series
PSU: Corsair TX 650w
SSD: Sandisk 64gb
HD: Western Digital 2tb Black

Same problem happened to me before I fixed it through these steps: Reinstall games(rarefy cache integrity first), reinstall/update drivers, finally try re installing windows. Before this try to run virus scans, clean out drives and other things that could cause this.

I've already run scans and re installed windows, I'll try to do the other things and see if that helps.

Nope, don't seem to be any errors in the log unless I'm not looking in the right place.

Okay New development, my pc has shut down and is now refusing to reboot so I'm on my tablet. My keyboard and mouse are not receiving power but the rest of my pc is. It still won't turn on, is this a mobo issue?
