My PC shutdown randomly, how to make sure it is the PSU?

Viniciuspc

My PC is shunting down randomly. Some times it work for hours and when I try to turn on again it shutdown.

How can I test my PSU to have sure that is the PSU the problem? Our there are any other ideas of what may be?

My PC has more than 5 years old, and all parts are this old.

 

Thank you

You can get a PSU tester. That basically is the only option to check if the PSU works

start by checking temps of cpu and gpu 

I will verify it, but I think they are good.

Is it very expensive? Or it is better to buy a new PSU?

Just to complete the post my system specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460@3.2Ghz
Motherboard: GIGABYTE H97M-Gaming 3 (Bios version: F3 2014/06/28)
Memory: 2x DDR3 HyperX 8GB 1600MHz (KHX1866C10D3/8G) +  2x DDR3 HyperX 4GB 1600MHz (KHX1866C10D3/4G)

And in the attach there is a log from the HWINFO wich I let running before the shutdown, but I could not find anything wrong.

 

Thank you again.
