Hello,
My desktop is suddenly automatic turn off while playing league of legends. However, after I tried to turn it on, there was only case which turned on and the monitor went to sleep for a couple of times that ive tried. After 1 hour later, i could turn everything on, however, if i play game again, it will automatically turn off.
Is there any solution to solve this issue?

I agree with the notion pointing toward psu.

Giving it an hr to cool down allowing you to power up and for it to shut down soon after playing means the psu is failing. Wouldn't continue to run the system until psu is replaced. It's state is still capable of protecting your system from surges but that wont last.

Search tier 1 and 2 psus for replacement. And remember, modular cables from previous psus aren't interchangeable due to varying pinout arrangements. That includes every power cable from sata, atx, cpu and pcie must be replaced with the psu you buy if modular, as in cables plugged into the psu.

my psu is Rosewill Hive Series 550W
Actually, when it automatically turned off, I have tried to turn it again and there was only desktop which is still running. however, monitor kept saying " monitor going to sleep" until i turn it off 1-2 hrs. But, when i totally shut it down for 1 hour, i could normally turn it on.

Yeah, you need a better PSU.

Think it's clear enough by now. You need a better PSU. The PSU is unable to handle the load that the game puts on the PC, and the PC shuts off due to bad power. You need a better quality PSU to make sure the PC is able to get proper power under load as well. Get a CX550 if you want to go cheap, otherwise there are many higher-end units as well with much better quality.

well - i just tried another PSU ( Corsair CX Series CX650 650W ATX 80 PLUS) - that problem still happened :(
i discovered that during installing window 10, my GPU is extremely hot as well
 


How hot is it? If you are in Windows, you can use HWMonitor to see the GPU temps, or MSI Afterburner.

Also, try reinstalling the game causing the game crash, and uninstall your display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and then reinstall them from Nvidia's website.

Hmm well if your gpu is getting hot, you reckon maybe its the graphics card shutting down your system?.

Run HWinfo and post your temps.

Windows installation uses hardly any gpu acceleration so thats pretty much idle state for a gpu.
