PC turns off randomly when opening games

[Yoda777]

As of recently, my pc turns off like someone is unplugging the power cord. This only happens when I try to play a game, not idle. Usually this happens but eventually stops then comes back a few days later. I used FurMark, and right as it starts my PC turns off. I also tried it with my older 750 TI and the same thing happened. Also, I recently upgraded to Windows 10. I also tested my CPU and the temp is fine and everything works. Should I replace the PSU and Motherboard. Anything at this point.

AMD - FX-8350
Asus - M5A97 LE R2.0
Kingston - 16GB RAM
WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Thermaltake - TR2 600W

I am guessing that the power supply is inadequate for the graphics card. The graphics card is by far the biggest power draw in the PC. When the demand for power goes up, an inadequate power supply shuts down.

A 600 watt power supply in good condition should be more than enough for the GTX 1060.

Could the motherboard be the issue? Is there a way to check?

The old non-80+ Gold TR2 isn't a particularly good PSU, so I wouldn't be surprised if it simply isn't good enough. A good quality PSU like the 520W Seasonic S12-II or maybe even a Corsair CX-450 should be enough to run that PC.

More than likely if the motherboard was bad it would not boot up at all.
