Computer shuts down (not overheating)

[Dry4Haz]

My computer shuts down immediatly when I play Far cry 2 and 3. I can't start it up until I have unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in. I have a 500 watt power supply and this have only happend recently. I tried switching out the power cable but that didn't work. I tried lower the settings so my computer wouldn't work that hard but it still shuts down. I have checked the temps and my gpu does not go over 63 celsius and my cpu does not go over 53 - 56 celsius. I guess the next step is to buy a new Power supply but I thought I can ask for help first.

Specs:
Gpu: Geforce gtx 660
Cpu: Amd fx-8350 8-core 4GHz
Ram: 8Gb
Power supply: 500 watt

You may need a new PSU, or you could try playing the games on lower quality. Can you give the name of the PSU?

Try cleaning out the pc from dust etc anything that might be interfering with the psu, I have also not rally heard of that company before this is often dangerous. If cleaning out the pc does not work try corsair's psu or coolmaster's
