if your computer just shuts off with no warnings or blue screen its your power supply..
it might be getting worn out and just able to keep the pc running, add some stress and bam, power off.

Yeah i checked RAM and no problems that i could find, and Temp on CPU and GPU doesnt go very high at all even while gaming. I'm gonna get a new PSU and see if that fixes it.
Could you share your system specs as well as the power supply brand and model? It's possible the PSU isn't broken, just that it's insufficient.
Just got a new PSU and the problem seems to have been resolved. My old one was an off brand 585W that worked fine with my previous build but after I upgraded most of my components I think it just was not able to handle it. I got a Corsair CX750M today and no restarting issues as of yet. I got the 750W because i plan to crossfire in the future so I know the older PSU wouldnt have worked for that for sure anyway.
Specs are:
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0Sapphire Radeon R9 280 3GB
AMD FX-8350 Black
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
Corsair CX750M
