Help Needed for fan setup

Ok, I recently built myself a PC and want help on fan setup Cuz I tried everything now

Specs

i5 4460

GTX 970 G1 gaming

Etc

My case is a

http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/2012/03-march/36-case/pgs-b/165-xpredator-evil-green-information

So, I have 6 Fans in my system 4X 120mm and 2X 240mm and spots for 2 more Fans

My GPU sits quite high because I have a small motherboard, now my problem is that it shuts down unexpectedly, and no it is not the psu or any faulty parts. I can see the temperature slowly rising on msi afterburner, after about 2-3 hours that my pc is on, playing a game it just instantly shut down with no warning... Then it would not turn on for about 3 mins (parts has to cool down first)

And no my pc isn't dusty, it's a brand new pc I built myself... So yeah that's my problem. Please help and tel me what I should do... If wanting to see photos of pc go check on the link I gave. Thanks in advance!!!

I've tried that, but because my Motherboard is so high my up,side panel Lower intakes can't blow on to it, it just blows into The gtx 970 G1s fans.

I used to have a xpredator, with that I had 240mm on the front intake, 240mm on the side intake, 140mm bottom intake, top + rear 140mm exhaust. Could try something similar to that?

That is something I haven't tried, thanks!! I think that would be much better because 2 140mm fans in the top would be more effective than 1 240mm! I'm going to put it

240mm front intake

240mm side intake

140mm bottom Intake

2 x 140mm top exhaust

140mm back exhaust

Thanks, I did not think of moving the 240mm fans!!

Another note that might be helpful. I noticed that the fan controller dials on the case IO panel, when put all the way clockwise (max speed) the fans went back to idle speed, setting it just below max worked fine, might be worth looking in to?

How hight your temps are reaching before shutdown? Because it should throttle first. Are you sure this isn't issue with PSU or RAM? Symptoms are more like those would be the issue.
