My powerbutton blinks slowly after my computer suddely shuts down(mostly after a few hours gamen), could it be my cpu overheating?(standard cpu cooler)

PC specs:
Case: codegen 701-ca
Motherboard:MSI A78M-E35
CPU: AMD A10 5800K
Ram: Crucial ballistix sport 8gb ddr3-1600
GPU: MSI gtx 760 twin frozr 2GB oc
PSU: codegen 600W
 
Solution
Odd shutdowns during gaming can indeed be PSU related. You mentioned yourself about codegen not being a quality brand to go with, so you may want to exchange the unit.

I know, but it happens when I'm gaming and pressing the button doesn't do anything, I have to switch off the psu before I can restart it again

I'm planning on buying a Corsair TX650, are they any good?
 
Glad it's working again :) Coil whine can vary in systems, some worse than others. It will bother some people, but others don't seem to mind. Depends on the ambient noise of the rest of your system as well. It's not harmful to my knowledge, just vibrations causes by the electrical current.

I can hear it because its a high pitch, on lower pitch my fans are louder, but it doenst bother me because I (mostly) use a headset for audio.
