I have a problem with a pc I got it's a old Alienware its black and has horns on the front and it has two blue lights on the front as well I would like to know what model it is if someone could tell me that would be great but the real problem is that when I start the pc it load windows ten and shuts off but it does it even on load up sometimes but what I tryed so far was switch psu didn't change anything unplug gpu didn't change anything new cpu paste still didn't change anything but all in all I think it's just overheating
 
Solution
Try checking the temps, use Coretemp.
BTW
You have a crap PSU that's Tier 5. OEM is HEC. Avoid IMMEDIATELY. These units are highly unsafe to use. No such protections added, very thin gauge wiring used, false advertising and too much to list. Reference to a higher tiered unit for a better, money saving and a much safer unit. For your safety's sake, please don't order or pick one up for use in your system. These units are a potential fire hazard and could even kill you, let alone your system. So get a better PSU that's Tier 1 or 2 like a Seasonic S12II-620/XFX TS 650/Evga 650 G2.

If you hear fan spinning thats good, if not you need to get a new fan.

Buy some thermal paste + find pure alchol, aftershave for removing the old paste.

take the screws out, cover off , change the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.

While you are there disconnect the fan and clean it,
