For the past couple days my PC will randomly shut off after gaming. Ill start a game of League of Legends or Heroes of the Storm and within generally a few minutes my computer will shut off. I thought it might be overheating issues but I cleaned everything fairly well, and the temperature during gaming is usually between 55-60 degrees celsius. After that I was actually able to get through one and a half games before it turned off. Now I don't know what to try. Looking online it seems like the PSU could be the problem but I do not know how to test to see if that is in fact the problem. Also to turn it back on I simply just have to plug the computer cord into a different outlet and then it boots back up again. I did try a second cord and it still had the same effect.

That temperature is for the GPU.
Windows 7
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1035T Processor 2.60 GHz
6 gb ram
64 bit operating system
NVIDIA GeForce FTX 560 Ti
Unfortunately the sticker for the power supply is on the wrong side so I cannot easily access it. I can take it out to examine it if that is necessary. Also I am not sure what other information you might need. I downloaded cpu-z so I have access to all the information that it provides if you so need it.

Edit: also my computer has been making strange clicking noises while running, its hard to pinpoint exactly the source but it seems like it could be the power supply.

Edit 2: From reading other threads with the same problem, I am starting to feel like the problem is my PSU and that it needs to be replaced. It is about 3 years old so that would make sense.

The CPU temperature was around 25 degrees Celsius without gaming, not sure what it is while gaming.
My PSU is a Thermaltake TR2 600W. Model TR2-600NL2NC
