So I've had this problem for a while now, where my PC will randomly turn itself off.

My PC specs are:
-6 core Bulldozer (AMD FX 6100) @ 3.82ghz
-32GB DDR3 RAM
-AMD RADEON 7770 2gb
-600W PSU
-5 fans in total (2 on GPU, 1 on CPU, 2 on Case)
-2TB HDD

I've had this PC custom built, for around nearly a year. My case thermometer never goes above 36 Degrees Cels.

Randomly when I play a game, do work or run numerous things my pc just turns itself off without any warning.

The only thing I can think is wrong is that the PSU isn't enough, or may be too much.

What do you guys think?

Sounds like an overheat, happened with my custom built PC too. Your case thermometer doesn't tell you crap.
Get Core Temp. Make sure there's good airflow ie your fans aren't blocked up with dust. Blow some compressed air throughout the entire of your PC - you get the idea.

CPU and graphics card die temps are typically around 90C. It's pretty easy to reach 90C if your case is at 36C

By the looks of it, you were running large amounts of stuff and it started to heat like an oven. I don't really know any good fans, but I'm sure you'll find something

Check for shorts in your PSU to the videocard. Even a slightly broken wire would definitely cause this issue. That, or, you're just were able to use your PSU with that video card for lower end things but now your trying to run something that requires a lot more from your card and it's not able to handle it.

Though a 600W psu shouldn't be a problem with a 7770, so I'd say check your wires for shorts(even do tests if you have the proper tools)
