Sudden shutdowns

[Lexseroth 17]

My desktop computer suddenly shutdown after a couple of minutes in Windows, tried repasting it with a proper thermal paste and its well cooled. Dunno why it keeps doing that, tried wiping the disk and installing a fresh new OS. Any more I could do?? pls help

Have you checked the power supply?

Like the other poster said, sudden shut downs are probably a sign of a failing power supply. Or possibly a motherboard going bad. What are the specs of your system?

PSU or maybe reset CMOS?

Well, there is this one thing. Being an overclockable CPU its power inputs require the basic 24pin and an 8 pin. On the 8 pin though I only have 4 inserted maybe that's whats causing it?
