Generally something like this would be the result of heat switch trying to save components, usually with RAM, CPU or GPU. Run memory test, prime 95 or a GPU stresser to see which one of them breaks when you do you'll know where the problem is hopefully. Be aware though PSUs have a shelf life and if you have run yours for several years maxing out games yours might be on the way out in that case it should fail all three of the aforementioned tests.

It is a ghost.

 

But really, probably heat. Any error message when you turn it back on? What are your temps and cooling? How big is your PSU also? That could be it.
