Hello,
I have had a problem for the past two weeks. My computer would turn off without any warning (literally like a power would go down). I can turn it on straight away. It turns off sometimes when I play games or even sometimes when I'm just watching a movie on my computer. The problem started occuring when I started playing GTA4. The computer turned off randomly and I wasn't sure what was wrong with it. I have cleaned my PC from any dust, my fans are working and I have re-applied my thermal paste on my processor. I have even added an extra fan to make sure that the heating is not a problem. But if the processor would be over heating then my PC would beep (It beeped few weeks ago because I have installed the processor on a new motherboard and the thermal paste was bad). The Power supply (corsair gs600) which I have is 600W so I don't think it's a problem. The computer has new parts from December such as Motherboard and RAM.
Here are my PC specifications:

I have reinstalled my OS. Also I have reinstalled it a week ago just in case it was a virus (I did a full scan and nothing showed up). I also have installed all my MOBO drivers.
Will do, also I'm wondering if my processor temps are good because I feel like they are high and I have re-applied the thermal paste 3x and the temps are roughly the same. I'll use a different plug and see if that helps.
It is quite cold in here, as I left the window open all day haha! But I literally watched my CPU temp go from 8C to 34 in the end.. now my PC is on just on Google Chrome and the temp is around 18-35.
the jump from 8 - 34 isn't alarming but what is that it starts at 8 unless your cooling your cpu with liquid nitrogen or your room has icicles in it that reading is wrong.
If your system has a speaker i.e you hear a beep when you turn it on please remove all of your RAM and switch the computer on. If you do not hear a series of beeps to say there is no RAM installed then you have a problem with your motherboard.
The problem occured again, after 3 days of working fine my computer decided to turn off during a game of cs:go and before aswell when i was browsing the internet..
