My computer specs -
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/W2pH4C

Hello, about a week ago my PC suddenly shut off. This happens when I boot up the computer, log in and start using programs and etc. The computer freezes and then shuts down, then restarts straight away but the DVI/HDMI signals are no longer there. Sometimes, when I boot up it clicks then powers off then immediately powers back on and begins to boot up.

I left the computer alone without touching it, leaving it on the Desktop screen for an hour and it never froze or shut off. Another thing was that Safe Mode and the BIOS windows never lead to freezing or restarting - they worked perfectly.
I have changed the parts about to test which ones have failed, I have checked the Ram, GPU and PSU so far.

Could someone please help? Thank you

Wait 50 to 60c under load or idle? If that's even in bios that to me seems a bit hot but again just guessing thats under load. Clearing the CMOS shouldnt have made it worse (I would hope). Have you checked to see if your cpu cooler has possibly failed internally?

Have you monitored the temps by chance? I know most boards will either under clock or lock out the system to prevent damage to the CPU if temps get to high. Another thing is have you tried resetting the CMOS and going from there? I noticed you do have the closed system water cooling. I have seen where those have failed internally but will still work fine with no load then when load is applied it fails to cool cause of internal failure.

The temps hover around 50-60C so it seems to be alright. I did try to reset the CMOS but currently it's suddenly gotten worse. The onboard graphics doesn't even work and gives no signal to the monitors. So I'm 99% sure it's the motherboard now.
