Random PC shutdowns

Go to solution Solved by zlolslavez,

Check front panel connectors, and perform all required Windows updates.

Minutes ago I was playing Battlefield when all of the sudden in the middle of a match my screen showed the Windows 8.1 thingy saying "shutting down", then as obvious it turned off, and I was like WTF??, this has happened to me at other times.

 

Here are my PC specs:

 

-OS: Windows 8.1

-CPU: AMD FX 8350 (no overclock)

-CPU heatsink: Noctua NH-D15

-GPU: Gigabyte R9 270X

-PSU: Rosewill HIVE Series 550W 80+ Bronze

-Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-UD3P

-RAM: G.Skill Ripjawz 8GB (2X4GB)

That's the culprit right there it does that giving you 15 minutes to save (or if you got it while you were gone goes away and shuts down the system in exactly 15 mins)
