I recently built a PC and it's been fine up until now.

Recently, it's been turning itself off and restarting itself, and wasn't too bothered about it.
I thought it would be a virus or something, so I did a scan using F-Secure and it detected nothing.
I then did a scan with Advanced System Care 7 and it also detected nothing harmful.

Then one time it turned itself off and I couldn't turn it back on.
I turned everything off to see if a wire was caught in a fan or something, but there didn't seem to be any problems. I left the side off and switched it all on and the CPU fan wouldn't spin. So I turned everything off and unplugged the fan and plugged it back in and then the fan worked fine.

But then a day or two later, the computer switched itself off.

I really don't know what could be wrong with it.
Here is my build if it helps:

The only thing I can think of is that it's overheating. Will I need to buy new fans or something?

Or could it be something to do with my PSU?

I really don't know.

Any help will be much appreciated and I will give rep to anyone who gives helpful answers!
Thank you in advance.

I still can't figure out how to check my computer's temperature.
It hasn't switched itself off since yesterday but I'm still don't want it to happen again.
Any help please?

It could be a voltage / connection issue. Have any of your parts come slightly loose, or has anything happened to your ground cable recently? You should check them.
