Ill probably agree with the PSU on that one but it could be a fault with the cpu fan. Any decent motherboard will turn the pc off if the cpu fan is not working so that it doesnt burn to bits! Just take the side of the case off to see if the cpu fan is spinning and that it is connected properly. If it is then PSU is the answer.
