Ok my computer as the title says is shutting down and getting the 6008 error. There is no warnings or critical events in the event viewer prior to it shutting down.

It is only doing it when i am playing games. So far I have ran Intel's Processor Diagnostic tool, the CPU passed 5 tests I ran on it. I tested the video card with furmark and it ran for 30 mins and was with in safe ranges, I ran the memtest and the windows one on the memory and it passed both of them.

I updated all the drivers and as far as I can tell everything is up to date.

At this point I am starting to think it is a power supply that is going bad. I notice when it power down if I put my hand on the back of the case it is pretty warm if not hot(not to hot to touch the case vent over the PSU but pretty warm/hot)

So my question is can you guys think of any thing else i can try to pinpoint what the problem is and do you also think it is likely the PSU going bad?

Figure I should ask before i buy a new one. Thanks in advance for the replies and help.

To do that should I start FURmark and then while it is running, run the Intel Diagnostic tool? Suggestion on how long to run both?

How long should I let them run? The CPU test normally only takes about 5 mins is that long enough to do while furmark is running or should I increase the number of tests the CPU does so it takes longer?

Ok I ran both tests for 20 mins. The following is the peak temps they hit.

motherboard - 37
CPU - 78
GPU - 88

For most of the test they was below those temperatures.
