This has been happening for about a month now, and I'm pretty sure it's my PSU, but I'm not positive. I have an i7 4790k, GTX 960, and a 600w PSU. My temps while idle are at ~30, while gaming around ~40-50. The time I'm able to play fluctuates, from ten minutes to four hours. I can do everything except for gaming without shutting down. Here are my full specs:

CPU: i7 4790K

GPU: GTX 960 4GB

Motherboard: Gigabyte H81M-DS2V

RAM: 8gb

600w PSU

Thanks for any help!

It probably is just a generic no-name PSU, computer originally came from some website like Ironside and was a gift to me. I've changed pretty much everything except for the PSU.

GPU Temps are about the same, idling at 30, usually stopping at 50 during games, sometimes 60.

Nope, the CPU is exactly as it was when it came out of the box. Shouldn't be OC'd at all.

run memtest to check your RAM before spending money on a new psu (which is what it sounds like) Memtest is free and will only take a half hour or so to check the RAM.
If RAM is ok, try to find a buddy to borrow a psu from
