I recently built a computer and it was working fine for a month. However, now, the computer randomly shuts down without warning and reboots itself up within 5-45 seconds. During this time, the motherboard has an orange light. These shutdowns occur at random times but most of them happen while I am playing games such as League of Legends. I am fairly sure it is not related to overheating as the computer sometimes shutdown as soon as I start up the game (within 3 seconds). The temperature also never goes above 60 degrees Celsius. The computer is free of dust. I have also ran different antivirus scans (Kapersky, AVG, Microsoft Secruity Essentials) and results were clean. I am running Windows 8. My computer specs are:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Hyperx 2 x 4 GB ddr3 1600MHz
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II Video Card
PSU: Corsair Builder CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
SSD: Sandisk 256GB
HDD: Seagate 1TB

Thanks!

Have you updated your BIOS and drivers? If you're running on the ones that came with your mobo support disk, you'll want to go to the Asus website and download the latest. You can also download and run MemTest86 to make sure your DRAM is good.

If those things check out, then you can move on to testing your other components.
