I built my PC about 2 years ago. My specs are:

 

AMD Athlon X4 860K overclocked to 4Ghz (I have a water cooler it never goes above 50 degrees)

XFX 250e (yes I know it's crap didn't know at the time that much about PC's)

8Gb DDR3 corsair memory 

CS 430 PSU

Asus A55-BM Plus Motherboard

STARTED with windows 7 ultimate and upgraded to windows 10

corsair hydro all in 1 cooler

1 500gb boot HDD Western digital blue

1 1TB storage HDD Western digital blue

 

The problem I am having is that whenever I leave my PC for 3-6+ minutes untended without a video playing or me moving the mouse it shuts itself off. This also happens in sleep mode. I will leave, put the computer in sleep and then 3-6+ minutes later it turns on, then shuts off. 

 

Another thing that has happened is whenever turning the PC on it just sits at the windows 10 loading screen and lags, I then have to hit the reset for it to boot and it trys to update but gets stuck at the update so I then have to hit the reset a second time for it to fully boot in. 

 

I have been trying to figure this out on my own but I have had no luck in the past 3 months of this happening. I believe it to be some sort of virus but for all I know it could be something to do with windows 10. I never had this problem with windows 7 but that said, I have had windows 10 since it came out and the problem only started 3 months ago. I know that I could probably just set the pc to backdate itself to 4 months ago when it was running fine but I have several new games, and several photos on my computer that I would not like to lose in the process. If anyone has some ways that I can look at what might be causing this to happen or any ideas on how to fix it PLEASE help!!!

Do you know how to boot into another operating system, possibly off of a USB Drive? Possibly a pen version of Xubuntu or Ubuntu? That way you can see if its your windows install doing it, or just your computer itself.

No I don't sadly. Is it easy to learn?
