When i play CS:GO my computer well just shut down and stay shut down until
i turn it back on. I just bought a new desktop. Need help not sure why its doing that and it only
shuts off when playing CS:GO, never happened while on youtube or browsing the net. Im guessing it may be the power supply? Please help new to this and not sure what it is. Thanks!

the power supply should be sufficient. a common culprit of sudden crashes or freezes is temperature. given the specs, i'd imagine that csgo is going to be no problem. do you have the tower in a place where airflow is restricted?

Nope the tower is put in a good area with plenty of airflow.
Yes my computer plays CS:GO perfectly fine.

a mistake people sometimes make is they think there's plenty of air flow, but dont realize their tower is on a carpet and its restricting air in to a lower vent or the psu if its mounted fan down. aside from trying other games, maybe check what kinds of temps you're getting during the gaming thats causing this problem?
