Hey mate,
when you start your PC successfully, for how long can he stay on??? 5min, 15min, 2 hours???
Also, does it shuts down when you play some games, or when PC just plays some music or when you do nothing???
Open the case and clean heat-sink on processor from dust with vacuum cleaner or with compressed air...
Also clean PSU with compressed air...
Maybe you should replace thermal paste on processor just to make sure it is not over-heating problem...
Be sure you remove old paste first with alcohol and do not apply lot of paste...
report back please...
