PC shutting down when on load

I have been trying to solve this problem for quite long but I havent find the cause of it.
When I run a demanding game for 5 to 10 minutes my pc shutdowns. I have changed my PSU, I had a Thermaltake TR2 600W and now I have a Corsair CX850 but it doesnt seem to be a PSU problem because when I open my PC case (it is cooler) it takes longer for shuting down althought my temps are quite nice
Mobo- 30º(Asrock z97 fatality)
CPU-45º max i5 4590k
GPU- 980 SC EVGA 65ºC max
8GB RAm
Samsung 850 evo 250GB
Also when running Sky diver 3dmark stress test it shutdowns

Ive done Memtest86+ and CPU stress testing with Prime 95 also I changed my GPU (It was a gtx 970 from msi) so that is discarted
Please help me out

If the thermals are well within range it sounds like you have a power delivery issue. It could be the motherboard, or it could be the power coming out of the wall.

Certainly not the power from the wall, actually I have an APC UPS, I also think it could be the mobo but Im not sure how I can test it?

Without going into the extreme of hooking up a multi-meter and measuring/trending the exact voltages going through each phase of the MOSFETs, they only thing I could recommend off the cuff is to try swapping motherboards and seeing if the problem resolves.

Can you put in a usb drive and snap a pic of your BIOS? Do you check this often?

Might be all that porn, honestly. if you have already replaced your power supply then that won't be it. you might have a dead drive. run optimization on all of your drives. how old is your pc?

If it was an issues of the OS drive being bad then I think we would be talking about a system lock-up that requires a hard reset. Since he said that the system shuts down when put under high load, and he has already confirmed that the thermals are well within normal parameters, I'm fairly confident it's a power deliver issue of some kind.

You are mistaken. I never said it had anything to do with his OS. We don't know his situation... if he can't troubleshoot then maybe he should pay to have it diagnosed. Do you not know how many factors could be causing his pc to shut down?

Unplug everything and plug it back in. works just as good as laying your head to rest on a rack of tits.

Yes, there are lots of factors that can cause a system to turn off, but when a system just shuts down when placed under high load (like in the case of playing modern video games) the cause is most often a thermal or power delivery issue. If it is an issue with a drive causing the system to fail and shut down, then it would involve the drive that contain the operating system. A drive that simply holds files and no system critical functions should not be causing a system shutdown, and I have never experienced a non-system critical drive cause a system shutdown. The OS will simply tell you that the drive has failed or disconnected. I am simply offering a suggestion based off of the information provided. If he wants possible alternative solutions he will have to share more detailed information about the problem.

All drives successfully benched, and really I do not think that could be the issue

Might be PSU, maybe I will change it in a few days, but I want to figure out a way to test it , if I can't I will change it directly, maybe for an AX760(for being sure)
