So basically my pc is shutting down while gaming. Before you guy ask for the temperatures [cpu max ~60, gpu max ~60]. So i figured it could be the power supply! 

 

There are two scenarios I've noticed:

 

 1) PC shuts down fans keep running. (I have to reset the system)

 

2) PC restarts. 

 

I am not sure what is happening, any ways to check and ANY SOLUTIONS please?

 

Thanks!

Test after every step

If you have another power supply laying around, use it.

Back up and remove all overclocks. 

Run a memory diagnostic test (like memtest 86 or prime95), if you quickly get a system crash, remove one stick of ram at a time and test again to see which stick is faulty. Make sure to mark your ram sticks. 

Try a different graphics card if you have one, if not, you can use on-board graphics. 

That's all I can think of, probably not the best order but you can start with whatever is easiest.
