[SOLVED] PC shuts off during gaming

[HashtagGrandpa]

So I built a system and it only shuts off during gaming. it doesn’t bsod or reboot, it fully shuts down and requires me to unplug the psu before restarting. I have conducted multiple stress test including prime95 and furmark at the same time for 6 hours and it works fine. I’ve completely changed ram as well as ran memtest86. I have completely reinstalled windows and it hasn’t fixed it. I am currently doing a scan on the hdd to check for bad sectors (I have had it for a while and maybe it’s just went bad?) I’m hoping it’s not the cpu or mobo.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am completely out of ideas.

i5-3570k
GA-Z77-DS3H
Hyper 212 Evo
Gigabyte RX 570 8gb
16gb ddr3
600w apevia psu
Seagate 1tb hdd

My guess is the PSU is inadequate & poor quality --- you made a bad choice. You need a good-quality brand and Apevia is definitley not in that category at all:

You should choose a PSU from EVGA, Corsair or Seasonic. Never skimp when it comes to choosing a PSU.

Your lucky that Apevia thing hasn't killed the GPU.

I don’t think it’s the psu as i have ran a prime95 and a furmark stress test at the same time and even at max possible power draw my pc did now power off

Well what else can I tell you? ---- All I'm saying is Apevia is a brand to avoid:

Might be the PSU

edit:
is your CPU overclocked?

eventually replace the BIOS battery
