Well a friend of mine lived in Greece and after he received the computer in Ireland I didn't work properly because the pc shuts off at random times (he could game about 4-5 hours then turn off in-game and surf in net or idle)he took care of his cable managment applied thermal paste again today safely the motherboard is not damaged nor the fans and everything else.The PSU is working fine but I can't understand whats the issue.

PC specs

CPU:AMD FX-6300 (stock cooler)
GPU:Asus R7 360
RAM:8GB (single) hyper X ram (the black one)
HDD:500GB western digital (blue)
PSU:650W Power-On
Mobo:Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
Win 10 Pro (upgraded westerday)

before you mention anything the pc has this issues before and after the upgrade and has no heat issues it reaches 58-65 C while gaming and 35 idle.

(if i said anything wrong please don't tease me I'm not used to speak English language also thank you.)

In a situation like this, I would almost always look first to the power supply. Depending on it's age, it may not be able to perform as it could when it was new. Depending on the quality of the the manufacturer, it may never have been able to produce sufficient power to the system for extended periods of time at all. Depending on your location's power grid, it may not be receiving enough stable power to provide stable power to your system.

Assuming everything else is legitimate, I'd do what I can about replacing the power supply with something that can provide a more reliable power source.

I 100% agree with Wolfshadw. I would look at the PSU. I would probably start by blowing out all the dust inside the PSU. If that doesn't help, something is failing in the PSU due to age or flaw or just crappy parts inside.
