My computer turns off without a warning when I play games for a bit. The temperatures seem to be ok so I'm thinking maybe it's the PSU? I looked it up and it told me to check the voltages provided by my PSU to the motherboard but I am a newbie to this so I have no idea if the voltages are correct.
Here is a link to the voltages : http://imgur.com/2Wkx3e2

Maybe it is something else that is causing the problem? Please give me your suggestions.

Thanks.

It is a Corsair 750W PSU. The first time I ran Tom Clancy's The Division I played it for 40 minutes and everything was working well but the second time I ran it, after a minute of playing my PC just turned off and now this happens everytime I run it. But then, this started happening in even less demanding games such as Counter-Strike:Global Offensive - I could play it normally without problems but now after 2 minutes my PC just turns off. This happens when I'm playing games but apart from games I haven't put my computer under load so I don't know.

Motherboard : Gigabyte Z97P-D3
CPU : Intel Core i7-4790K
GPU : MSI GeForce GTX 770
RAM : 16GB DDR3[/quotemsg]

what it sounds like to me is the degradation of your powersupply, although i could be wrong. Try updating all drivers to the latest

So.... I ran the CPU OCCT and after 20 second it said something like #core 1 over maximum value
Here is a screenshot : http://imgur.com/mJz28RK

What does that mean? is it the temperature?
Now I am doing the power supply thing so I will let you know what the results are later.

Edit : I ran the Power Supply OCCT and same thing happened - "core #1 over maximum value "

Stock Intel CPU Fan and I changed my thermal paste a day after the turning off began. I will get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and see if that causes the problem
