So, you can be using it normally and then it will shut off seemingly random? Or is it shutting off while booting?

wipe your hard drive and reinstall the operating system under english, check your bios for temperatures, and if you havent already take off your heatsink and clean and reapply thermal paste. 

If you agree with my advice/Recommendation please give me a thumbs up. Thank you

It is on the booting stage and it shuts off at random. The system POSTs fine, but i have been in windows only 1. The thermal paste is new on the heatsink. In the morning the PC was working fine, just with a different amount of RAM, a diff GPU, and a diff PSU. I cant get into bios most of the time because it shuts of usually before I can
