Computer just shuts down out of nowhere?

[kookyman9]

So this happened to me 3 times already, i dont know why but out of nowhere it just shuts down no warning straight up like my whole house was to lose power but it was only my pc that died, 2 times it restarted and 1 time it went off then tried to restart but kept shutting itself it went on then off. Idk if its psu or overheating issue im probably sure its not overheating or idk. But can someone help me and give me a solution pls? Btw i built it myself. I have stock cooler for cpu and one case fan, also a raidmax powersupply. Thanks !

The Raidmax power supply throws up a red flag to me... Can you list all the specs of your PC, and when you built the computer?

It could very well be a failing PSU. Raidmax are quite poor quality: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Do you know what kind of temperatures you're getting on your CPU and GPU?

I would definitely change PSUs. As the link I sent you stated, Raidmax are in the "not recommended" tier.

ClutchC and HiTech are probably correct, sounds like psu problem.
If you can get it up and running, here's a link for a good monitoring program that will show your temps and voltages:

It is one of the most accurate I have found.
When was the last time your thoroughly cleaned out your pc of all the dust and dirt?
