Upgraded recent system build is:

GPU- MSI GTX 960 4GB.
CORSAIR RAM 16GB 1600.

PSU- ROSEWILL PHOTON 550. (FULL MODULAR)
HDD- WD 1TB.
CASE- NZXT PHANTOM 410.
6 FANS IN THE CASE, 8 IF YOU COUNT CPU COOLER

when i first built the rig everything was fine after a couple of month the computer will shut down randomly i checked if it was the cpu overheating that when i bought the D92 cooler. i tested for a few days and it started again. i asked for help on the site they told me to change my PSU from raidmax hybrid 2 520 PSU to something better that when i bought the Rosewill Photon 550. BUT STILL SAMETHING

It could be a heating issue. The BIOS typically have thermal limits and then system shuts down if it's hitting that.

Also double check all your cable connections both inside and out. A lose power cable can appear to be plugged in but the slightest move could sever the connection turning the system off.

Your motherboard could also be hitting an error causing a shutdown. If you have an error code on it check it against the manual to see what the cause is.

IT could be number of things - First that it's on my mind is faulty PSU - maybe it's not holding the proper voltage and your mobo switches off to avoid damage. Try to borrow PSU from someone and run it again.
Also - Do all of your fans work properly ? My friend had similar issue and he just put his fans in other slots - his BIOS thought that fans are not running and it would shut down after few min.

Okay, try one more thing
Dissconnect your RAM and clean it with eraser ( but be sure you dont left any of eraser on it later) then put it back again - this removes oxidation from copper . Dont over-do-it
If it's not that then it's absolutly softwere issue
