More information would be helpful here - What are you doing when it shuts off? Do you get an error or does the power just die?

With no additional information I'd guess it's heat. If you have the heating on and there's dust around your heat sinks then sure, you could easily be over heating.

Oh sorry it happens when I'm playing games and it restarts it doesn't shutoff it probably is the heat , I forgot to mention that the power supply is mounted at the top and it blows the hot air onto everything if you guys think it might be that?
