Solved: Upgrading to better Power Supply and random shut off
Upgrading to better Power Supply and now my computer randomly shuts off shortly after running World of Warcraft. Went from a 600 watt OCZ to an 850 Thermaltake Black Widow.

Edit: Nothing's shorting outside of the pc

What are you system specs, what make and model is the machine assuming its a big brand name like HP or Dell? If its a self / custom build what is the make and model of the CPU, Graphics, motherboard, RAM, hard drives, DVD/CD drive, etc.

Any particular reason you upgraded the PSU?

Check that all cables a securely connected, unplug each and reseat it to make sure.
