The issue that I am currently facing is that when my computer comes under stress, it will just shut off. No blue screen, no warning, just instant shut-off, and either after waiting ~5 Minutes or Unplugging the main power cable for ~10 Seconds the computer is able to boot back on.
At first I thought the issue may have stemmed from my graphic card due to a screen glitch on my second monitor (The screen would flash very, very briefly) that accompanied it right before every shutdown. Since then I have replaced that graphics card, and while the screen glitch doesn't happen anymore, the shutdown continues, now without any warning. The graphics card replacement set me back quite a bit, so seeing the problem still exists is a bit disheartening, and so now I'm coming here for help.
I have monitored the heat closely throughout the events and hardly ever does anything exceed 60 Celsius, the exception being when I do have the computer under a bit of stress. The fans within are working just fine, especially since putting in the replacement graphics card. I've posted the question here as my friend suggested to me since we aren't sure whether this is a motherboard problem, PSU problem, or what. Just trying to find some help. Anywho, here are the specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 840
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. GA-770T-USB3
Memory: DDR3 8GB RAM - 4GB x2 Crucial Ballistix Sport
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon VisionTek Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express
PSU: Xion 700 Watt Power Supply

As a note, the 81C Temp never changes, so I'm assuming that the heat monitoring system is having a problem with that one.
First time posting a problem to Tom's Hardware, so I'm sorry for any mistakes and I'd be more than happy to provide more information if needed.
