Randoms shutdown

So on Saturday my pc decided to just randomly shut off and wouldn't turn on unless I turn the power supply off and on. In the hope that this was just a one time thing I thought nothing of it.

 

Then today it happened again. So I decided to check if it was dusty or any loose cables. But nothing out of the ordinary. Only thing that was hot to the touch was the GPU. I start the pc up again and 20 minutes later same thing. Then it only took five minutes for it to shut off. 

 

I'm scared now that if I use the computer again in this state I'll damage more. Any thoughts on what it could be?

It could be motherboard. And probably is. But...

 

You can try to use second pcie for gpu, just for testing. Even if it's not x16 but x8 or x4, you'll be able to made some tests. Maybe motherboard has some problem with pcie x16 socket because of high (as you said) temperatures of your gpu.
