So when I use furmark it shuts of my pc instantly and when I play certain games it shuts off and the temperature wasn't even high, it was 60C when it shuts off.
 
Solution



When Furmark starts to stress the PC(or the game stresses the GPU), that causes additional power draw from the PSU. The PSU can't supply the required power and shuts itself off as a protective measure.

The reason I'm saying it's most likely the PSU is because 90% of the time when some comes here and describes what you did, a PC that shuts down when under load, it's due to a faulty PSU.

Good quality unit which would allow for future upgrades. Do not ever cheap out on the PSU.
