Random Shutoff, Potential PSU problem?

Go to solution Solved by evo85210,

for some weird reason, it stopped randomly shutting down after i've made my post.....
guess problem solved, thanks for the advices

So my PC keeps randomly shuts off without any warning, no BSOD, no error code, no nothing, it's like someone suddenly unplugged my PC

after it shuts down i can immediately boot it up again, and would be greeted by the Windows Error Recovery, but looking at system logs, nothing is logged when it suddenly shuts off
shouldn't be an overheating problem, as my CPU is only running at 40C and GPU at 34C  
at first i thought it was an overclock problem, so i restored everything to default settings, but it stills shuts off suddenly
sometimes it shuts off shortly after boot, sometimes i can use it for hours and there'd be no problems
is this a PSU problem?

PS: i've updated my bios and all my drivers and still no luck

Dying capacitor - replace before it blows up and damages something else.
