About 6-8 months ago I did a custom build desktop. I'm not new to building out PC's, so my knowledge is not limited but I'm having an issue with my current setup. At any given point for absolutely no reason my machine is turning itself off randomly & I suspect now that it maybe the power supply, although I'm not entirely sure and do not want to start replacing things until I have a better handle on the problem. It has been awhile since I've built a machine. I used a laptop for many years. I want to make sure its not a "builder" error.

You can see my readings with HWM below:
...AND:
Things I have done to rectify this:
- Monitor the temps in the unit with various programs as reported above there were really no super high findings. The worst I think it got was about 120F.
- I don't play hardware intensive games. The most "intensive" games I play are Microsoft Sudoku, Solitaire and Mahjong. This is PC for surfing, email & working on websites.
- I have run spyware scans, anti-virus scans and all kinds of related scans and found no infections, viruses etc.,
- I formatted & reloaded the PC with a fresh copy of Windows 10 Home 64BIT thinking that possibly the virus/malware scans just did not find the culprit and reloading may "Fix" the problem. Obviously it has not.
TIA!
