About a week ago my PC began shutting off with no warning ahead of time. It would stay on a couple of hours, and then it would just croak and turn off. As the week went on, my computer could stay on for progressively shorter amounts of time. I thought that the power supply was the problem, so I bought a Thermaltake 430W power supply off of newegg to replace my old Powmax 450W PS since it had been making noise for a few weeks now and I suspected that was the problem. Unfortunately, the power supply didn't help at all. It still shuts off.
I looked inside of the computer and noticed that the CPU overheat LED turns on whenever the computer shuts off. I know it isn't a heat problem because I went into my BIOS and looked at the temperature and the CPU temperature wasn't above 51 degrees celcius when it shut itself off on me. I also had the overheat shutoff feature disabled so I don't think it is the CPU overheating.
I'm not sure what is the problem. Anyone have any ideas.
If a part went bad I'd like to replace it instead of buying/building a whole new computer.
