My computer has been randomly shutting down for a while. I didn't know why at first so I tried replacing the power supply. That seemed to work for a few days but then it started up again. After reading some threads I think its probably overheating. I got this program called speedfan that monitors the temp and its always 50's to 60's or hotter.

Here's my main question. It has "cooler master liquid cooling" so why is it overheating so much? Is liquid cooling not really that good? Or is it just my cooling system that sucks? There's only two fans in the case, one on the back and one of the side. Right now I have to keep the side off and a real fan blowing at it to keep it from over heating. Is there some way to make the liquid cooling work better or do I just need more fans?
