It's never done this before. I have a Windows 7 operating system and I have not installed a virus. I believe it could be a overheating issue as the computer is 3 months old. My room is pretty dusty and there's dust on the carpet under the power supply where the PC lies. Is it possible to just dust the dust from the PSU out from the bottom with a duster, and then do the rest of the PC? Would that solve my issue? I'd really like to get back to gaming, as my PC has never done this before. If you need more information from me, ask. Thank you.

The best way to remove dust from a computer is with canned air (blow it out). You can use a vacuum to get the "big chunks" out, but be careful not to damage components. NEVER use a duster on the inside of a computer - as they utilize static electricity to pick up the dust, and that will damage your computer.
You can examine the Windows logs - it will either state that the computer is shutting down due to heat issues (dust, fan problems, etc..) or it shut down from an unexpected power problem (this is usually the PSU).

Make sure that all your fans are working, if they are dust them out. As it is probably to do with when you GPU gets a heacy load it overheats, which causing windows to shut down.
