So yeah my problem is that my computer keeps shutting down when playing games like, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed IV, Bf3, but it seems to work on lower games like CS:GO.
I tried running MSI kombustor, and it wouldn't shut down with it. Temperatures are okay, i did check them all. I have had this computer for 4 years, finally bought new GPU. Problem started maybe 3 years ago, but it hasn't happened for a while, since i havent played "good" games for a while. Computer crashes only when playing.

Specs:
AMD PHENOM II x6 1055T
MSI GTX 760 twinfrozr 2gb OC edition
8GB RAM
WINDOWS 7 64bit
PSU: (weird and cheap?) Axpertec AXP-630P12P 630W

Power should be enough but it seems like that PSU is not trustable.
If I didn't tell something please ask me to tell.


I have cleaned all components, run memtest and so on..

Cheap psu's often list thier peak wattage instead of the maximum continuous wattage to make the psu sound better than it really is. Pick up a quality psu and dont play anything until you install it would be my recommendation.

bump.
I found temporary fix, i made GPU max power to about 75% and now its seems i can play like hour without a problem, so i think you can confirm it as PSU problem.
