My computer has started randomly shutting off.Everything shuts off except for the hard drive light which remains on afterward. It usually happens while I'm playing a game.

I've had this issue before, but was able to fix it by completely uninstalling the drivers for my graphics card and then installing the drivers again.
Now that I'm having these issues again I thought it might be the drivers,but after wiping and reinstalling drivers 3 times I'm not sure what the problem could be.

My graphics card is a EVGA GTX 760 FTW if that helps.
 
Solution
You might want to consider getting a new one, your computer black screening when you start a power-intensive task is a classic symptom of psu failure.

You asked if it blue screened or not. It just goes black. Everything stops working except my case LEDs and the hard drive light stays on.
