What's your full system specs? Especially PSU make and model (or part number)?
Also, what are your CPU and GPU idle and under load temps?

This is for a friend btw

Cpu: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz 41 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology

Gpu: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (Gigabyte) 41 °C

Motherboard: MSI B85-G43 GAMING (MS-7816) (SOCKET 0) 40 °C

psu: Corsair rm650

Ram: Not sure 16gb (8gb x 2) (also he has 4 ram slots but the ram is in the 1st and 2nd slot shouldnt it be 1st and 3rd?)

Hard disk: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA) 40 °C

According to MoBo manual (page 1-15), the 2 sticks of RAM should be in the slots #2 and #4 if counted from the CPU side.

Shutdowns during gaming are mostly caused by 2 issues:
1. CPU/GPU overheats and to prevent any damage, system shuts down.
Are the listed temps idle temps? And if so, what are under load temps?

2. PSU fails to deliver enough power to the GPU or fails to keep smooth enough voltage for PC's operation.
Corsair RM series PSUs are mediocre quality PSUs though. What's the age of the system? 3 years? more?

If your temps are within normal range then it's most likely PSU issue. While PSU does have enough wattage, it's voltage regulation can be off for PC's operation under load. Here, replacing the PSU helps.
For new PSU, i suggest good quality unit from Seasonic, in 600W range. E.g S12II-620, M12II-620 EVO, G-650 or Focus+ 650,

Focus+ is the newest PSU line from Seasonic which comes with 10 years of warranty. Other listed Seasonic PSUs have 5 years of warranty.

I too think its the psu as the under load temps are fine

Would you know anything about Hard drive errors

Running "chkdsk /f" command in command line is best option to fix HDD errors.

If your HDD fails the checkdisk then it's a clear sign of failing HDD. At this point, back up your data and look for a new HDD, e.g Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB (WD10EZEX).
