ok so mostly the title says it all but to explain the problem:
this started 3 weeks ago and the pc turns down every time I play a game no matter what game it is. demanding or not it turns off.
I have gtx 970 ftw, i5 3470, Corsair vs 650 and every other thing shouldnt matter?
I have tried every thing from removing the oc to benchmark my system.
the weird thing is it doesnt turnoff when I do graphics intense benchmarks or cpu intense benchmarks. It turnsoff only when I play a game.
P.s the temp are fine nothing goes above 75 degrees

Sounds like a power supply issue, Have you tried running an AIDA64 stress test (GPU/CPU/DISK etc simultaneously) ?

thanks for suggestion will do the test and share the the results.

What do you mean by "turns down" or "turning off"? Does it immediately do a hard shutdown by itself, or do you get a blue screen? What happens exactly?

yeah it is a hard shutdown the pc just goes off like there is no power in it for a few seconds and then turns back on.
