 PC shutting down - RattleandSmoke
You need to test the power supply properly either with a tester or a multimeter. You need to check the voltage on the 12v rail as it boots up and see if there is a big drop. Even if it seems fine it doesn't mean its not the PSU.

If it was a hard drive it wouldn't switch off, it would simply crash on loading with an error message.

The first thing I would do is test the PSU and then swap it but if you don't have any spare PSUs it is a fairly expensive option.
