Solution
It is most likely a driver issue then. When you reinstall Windows, you have to reinstall all the drivers. If there is a driver conflict, windows will shut down rather than let the issue harm the computer.

Try running this free tool -- be sure to uncheck the toolbar in the installation.

Perform a backup of current drivers first, then download updates for the other drivers in the list. Let us know how it goes.
I agree it is most likely a power issue, but it could also be a power issue to a critical hardware component and not necessarily the PSU. Loud music might vibrate the floor and cause a loose hardware device to come loose slightly... where playing a game with volume lower might have no such effect. Double check that hardware is secure in motherboard. Could also be driver conflict with a certain hardware... Sometimes the most up-to-date driver isn't the best. Good luck!

hey guys thanks for all your help i updated all the drivers that were out of date it was only two but problem still existed,so i downloaded original drivers for motherboard and that has fixed my problem,so with hind-site maybe its best not to constantly update your drivers unless you have issues :)
