The thing started like 3-4 days ago.

I'd suggest to try to get as much information on the crashes as possible.

Is the PC just turning off completely, or is only the game hanging/closing?
Is there a blue screen with an error message?
Is it always at the same time?

A few things to look for:

temps on the GPU and CPU to rule out an overheating/thermal protection shutoff
Go into the windows event viewer (press windows key, start typing "event viewer") and look under "windows Logs - System" for any red "error" or "critical" events that line up with your crash, the error message in that or in an event around there might give an indication what is to blame.
