PC shuts off randomly when gaming.

[SpaseCat]

This is a recent problem but maybe 7 times out of 10 my pc randomly shuts off after either playing a little bit of a game, or when I just load into it. It varies... It happens in all the games that I've been able to test and I don't know why its happening. It doesn't just shut off, its like the computer blue screened but with no blue screen. I get the same buzzing sound glitch, and my computer is still technically on, but everything just shuts down. Any ideas why this is happening? Please help. Thanks!

PC SPECS:
AMD fx6300
Nvidia evga gtx 750ti sc
16gb patriot viper ram
Corsair cx500 builder series
Msi 970a-g43
WD 1tb

Btw I have windows 10. It could possibly be an issue with windows but I don't know.

Although your system only really needs about 350w your PSU is very low quality and known for issues. My guess is your PSU is failing and if correct needs changing immediately as if it fails completely its possible for it to damage the rest of the system. You really should go for a good quality 400w or greater.

Ok, open windows event viewer to search for "system errors" and post them here so others can deduce the problem for you

Here all psu's on tier 1 or 2 are good http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Except the solutions above I believe that your CPU is overheating, I have the 6300 and it overheats extremely fast when gaming without a aftermarket cooler....
