Hey!

I've had some issues with my computer recently, It keeps shutting down or restarting itself randomly from time to time. I've noticed that this happends more commonly when starting some games. Though It can handle most games, there are some specific ones it can't handle at all and decides to restart. It should be able to handle all the graphics there is, Some games works on lowest graphics possible.

I've been searching for answears online, thinking it's a virus. So I reset the whole computer, but it still happends. I've installed WhoCrashed, but It doesn't show anything at all. So I'm not sure what is wrong and I need help, I'm not the best at computers and how they work.

My specs:
- CM Storm Scout II Advanced Gaming Black
- Cooler Master B500 VER.2, 500W PSU
- Intel LGA1150 Core i7 - 4790
- ASUS LGA1150 B85 - PRO GAMER
- Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 1600Mhz 8GB KIT
- MSI GeForce GTX970 4GB Gaming PCI - E
- Kingston SSDNow V300 240Gb 2.5" 7mm OEM
- WD Desktop Black 1TB SATA 3.0
- Samsung DVD RW SH - 224DB/BEBE SATA BULK
- MS COA Win 8.1 Nordic {IR}

Thank you for any help :)
 
Solution
Sudden shutting down without any events in event viewer and without BSOD is always of HW nature mostly caused by power shortage (either PSU or MB, CPU, GPU etc.) or an error in CPU. RAM or GPU. You'd have to troubleshoot every part separately and watch voltage and temperature.
