First of all my specs are:
Asrock 970 Extreme3
HD 7870 OC edition by Sapphire
ASUS DG Xonar 5.1
Amd FX-4170 quad core
LC Power Arkangel 850W
16gb(RAM)

I bought my PC 2,5 years ago,I have this problem for awhile now and its really annoying me.It shut downs atleast once a day while playing CS:GO as I play that game the most.My temperatures are normal.It started to randomly shut down a year after I bought my PC.One interesting fact is that when I clean my PC it doesnt turn off that day.
When it shuts down the screen goes black and I hear the buzzing sound coming from the speakers/headphones,no error messages.What could it be?

Thanks in advance.

What software are you using to measure the temps? 20C sounds way too low when under load. Also have you tried with it any other games?What is the CPU usage on load?
Also the PSU isn't good enough for high-end rings(It is in tier 4 on this list http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html). I suspect the PSU in not able to handle the load.

I have also had this problem, I have all source engine games bsod my system 1/10 times. Have you tried reinstalling cs go? Has it ever happened on any other games? Unlikely, but did you accidentally overclock your Gpu or Cpu too much?
