Well about 2 weeks ago i put together a pc for my mate.. its specs are

AMD Sempron 3000+
Asus K8V-VM mobo
1Gig generic ram
ATI X850XT gfx card
80gb hardrive
450w psu

The deal is that when he fires up a game and about 5 - 10 mins later the pc just turns off, powers down with no warning at all. :confused:

But it turns back on fine, no problems at all..

Ive checked temps and there ok.. Clocks seem ok

Any ideas on what the problems could be ? The pc has been working fine for the past 2 weeks, its only been the past day or so its been cutting out.

The games he plays are Act of War, Call of Duty and Command and Conqeur Generals..
 
Try putting it through a stress test and see if it cuts out, if it does it could be the PSU cutting out during load
