Sudden Shutdowns

I'm not exactly sure why but my system keep suddenly shutting down on me as if it has lost power. I have checked all the wires, and hardware of the computer and everything seems to be working fine. The shutdowns are random so i have no idea when it's going to happen. When I run the system in safe mode, there seems to be no shutdowns at all. I have scanned with malwarebytes and microsoft security essentials but have found no viruses. I'm not sure what else to do. Do you guys have any advice or any similar experiences? I would love to be able to solve this problem.

Another interesting tidbit of information that I think might be relevant is that when I start up the computer and start playing a game, the computer doesn't shutdown at all whereas if I try to surf the web or write a paper in microsoft word, it'll shutdown instantly after a while. I also left the computer on the user select screen last night and it didn't turn off at all.
