As the title says i am having problems with my PC turning off randomly. I am running a i5 3570k with a gigabyte 970. I am using this PSU and it should have enough power.

It has enough watts, but I have heard of people having problems with that PSU, even people on this forum.

How much wattage does your PSU have and does it have some sort of 80+ certification?

This might be a silly question but did you install all the drivers that correspond with your parts like motherboard and cpu?

it doesn't crash or restart it acts as if it just lost all power but then boots right back up when i turn it back on.

90% sure on defective PSU and 10% on Motherboard. Got another PSU by any chance?

 

Also, there is a possibility your PSU is overheating and shutting off to protect itself. Try running it with good air flow, like outside or something.
