Title says it. I just finished my build today. It was working fine, but then is started to randomly shut off. Is it a problem with the PSU or MOBO. Im a novice when it comes to PC's. Im 13 but I know alot for a 13 year old. But please comment to tell me why this is happening.

Oh wow. I can't even begin to tell you how many different things this could be.

How long does it go before it shuts off? If it lasts a while before shutting off there's a good chance you just have poor circulation and it's overheating. To test this, take the side of the computer off and place a small desktop fan next to it (on medium or low) blowing into the case. Let it run like that for a few days. If the issue ceases, wala. If not, you either did something wrong, or have recieved some faulty hardware.
