I would think this would cause the computer to Blue Screen and restart.  If the computer is randomly shutting itself off, it might be a motherboard or power supply issue.

My PC specifications are in my profile.

True but I've had a PC go to shits on me and after a lot of trial and error, it turned out to be a dying stick of RAM. 

 

Best solution is to do a trial and error; disconnecting all non essentials, i.e. GPU, RAM sticks, etc...

Have a look in Task Scheduler to see if you have any scheduled shutdowns pending.

export PS1='\[\033[1;30m\]┌╼ \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;30m\] ╾╼ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\]\n\[\033[1;30m\]└╼ \[\033[1;37m\]'

i don't think so.  id usually does it when i open programs or get shot in a game.  my ram could be dying. h100i is also problematic, an i might replace that anyways
