hi guys,
I have a self built pc, its been fine for 2 years or more, had plenty of upgrades and component changes, but nothing has changed in it for about 6 months, its been running sweet... until last week...now its cutting out randomly,no warnings or error messages, just powers down. the CPU temperature doesn't seem to be particularly high, high 60s or so. any ideas why this could be happening? specs are as follows:

Motherboard: gigabyte GA-990XA-uD3 am3+
CPU: AMD fx8320 black edition 8core CPU cooled by a Zalman cnps5x performa silent fan
Ram: 2 x 4gb DDR3 1366
GPU: Nvidia geforce gtx550 ti 1gb
Storage: 1x 64gb SSD OCZ
4x 1tb Sata 5400rpm HDDs
Os: windows 7 ultimate SP1
PSU: 750w power cool 80plus



hope someone can help as this is getting really annoying, I can't see any reason why it would be doing this or why it suddenly started doing it. ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated.
