Please check out your SMPS first

If its problem of either RAM or HDD, than it is HDD. check for bad sector in HDD.

Try seagate tools to check hdd, memtest for RAM

Just do check your power options in Control Panel that it is not set to go in stand by mode after few minutes etc..Sometimes due to BIOS / Mobo limitations the PC may fail to come out of such modes!

If there's any short circuit due to exposed wires etc in SMPS the system will abruptly shut down.

or is it temperature threshold shoot up??? If you have intel board, then you can install this power/temperature monitor tool that comes with the motherboard and see the temperature to verify this point too.

Also, did you install off late any software after which you started getting this problem. If so, try uninstalling it and see.
