I have read similar threads but could't find a solution.My specs
Processor:i5-4690k
Video card:gtx 1060 6gb
PSU:KCAS-600W 80+ bronze
RAM:2x4gb ddr3

I updated my bios and all of my drivers.Temperatures for CPU and GPU stay at about 40-50 degrees.Fans for everything seem to be spinning properly.I watch youtube and everything fine but when i start gaming the pc shuts down.When i play insurgency it shuts down after a couple of hours of gaming but when i play Squad it shuts down after 10-20 minutes.Everything seem to point at the psu but it should be powerful enough and seems to be operating fine
 
Solution
You have a junk PSU and it cant maintain a steady stream of power to the system. The wattage on the PSU label is irrelevant. Your lucky it has not damaged you system.

I suggest you get a quality 500 watt PSU from Corsair, EVGA, or Seasonic.
