A common reason for shutting down is the CPU overheating.

Faulty Fans, Dust and Grime build up on the Heatsink restricting air flow. I would give the inside of the case a blowout with compressed air and then remove the Heatsink, giving it a thorough clean and reseat the CPU applying new CPU grease. If the Fans spin freely when you give them a spin they are probably OK. If there is resistance replace them.

A faulty PSU can also cause it. Fluctuating power is no good for the motherboard. Try another one if available or replace it.

Download SpeedFan and check the Voltages and Temps.

Also check Capacitors around the CPU for swelling or bulging.
