Right, so, for the past 2 months, my pc has been randomly powering down for no apparent reason. It hasn't just happened while playing games so I doubt it's due to that. I have no idea what it could be. I've also had many critical warnings about it shutting down unexpectedly. Please help.

Press windows button with s, type in event viewer. you might have to authorize it as admin, then look for crash folders/files to see if it can tell you what is causing crash/shutdown.

When was the last time you cleaned the inside of your pc? Install cpuid and see where you have temp spikes. I am thinking your computer is over heating, I.E. CPU OVER HEATING. don't know what kind of cooling you have , but if its just a cooler with a fan see if its dirty, as with the exhaust fans. Let me know for next step.

Yeah, temp is always below 60, and usually is at high 30s

Specs:
Intel Core i5 - 4460 CPU 3.20GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB
1TB SATA Hard Drive
8GB DDR3 RAM
Power Supply 350W (Unknown Brand/supplier)

It's just over 2 years old. No parts replaced.
