My PC randomly shuts down when playing some games.
I haven't had any graphical issues or glitches.
My CPU never goes above 60c and my GPU never goes above 70c.
I recently dusted my PC and the heat sinks and fans are clean.
Elite: Dangerous shut my PC down a few times when jumping, but after lowering settings it stopped.
Elder Scrolls Online shut my PC down twice, in dozens of hours of playing.
Aftermath (new WarZ/Infestation game) shut my PC down twice.
When using the default FurMark stress tests and benchmarks my PC would shut off after a couple seconds, but with the custom settings (720p, no dynamic background, and no burn-in) I could run it for the entire 60 second duration.
I had a problem launching Far Cry 4 after the yeti update, It would get to ~80% loaded then my PC would shut down. Removing one of my RAM sticks fixed it though. After I stopped playing I replaced my RAM and I haven't played it since.
I just tested my RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and it seemed to be all good, no errors popped up.
AMD FX-6100 3.3 GHz
ASRock N68-VS3 FX
Sapphire 7870 XT 2GB
AZZA 700W ATX Power Supply PSAZ-CP700
2x4GB A-Data DDR3 1333 MHz
Windows 7 64-bit
---------------
Very late update
Turned out it was my PSU. It died (with a bang) within a few minutes of GTAV back when that came out. Luckily nothing else was damaged and I upgraded my PSU.
Is my GPU to blame? PSU? RAM?
