So I built my pc over a year ago and today I was in the middle of a game and it just shuts off and it won't come back on. Could it be the psu the mobo or my case? Need some info cause Im pretty new to pc still.

PSU could have gone out, what happens when you try to turn it on?
Caleb Gomez
Test the psu. Look up paperclip test.

Jesus dude, crop your big ass photos so they aren't sideways.
Either CPU is overheating or not enough memory/broken memory.

Hmm unplug everything and make sure all wires are secure. Check your psu's manual, usually it flashes a light in a sequence to tell you if something is wrong.

Get a hairdryer and use it (low heat or no heat) to spin the psu fan. Just blast it in there for a couple minutes.
Does your computer start up normally?
Replace the PSU.

To check the case, unplug the case wires from the mb. Remember where they go. Find the power header and jump the + and - pins. If it starts up you have a case problem.

It actually works.
I read about it years ago. My wife's computer shit the bed and I revived it with a hairdryer. Then ordered a new PSU.
She now thinks I may be a wizard.

Maybe your power supply is bad. Try getting a new power supply.
