      I know Im bothersome with this all but I have a new question before I go out and buy new PSU for 70$ or so.
      Is there a chance that the whole problem isint actually a PSU but something else in the pc (CPU, GPU?). It did turn off while browsing the internet but it was probably because of the whole fuses problem. Now fixed and after a day it didnt turn off while browsing. Only under heavy load (gaming) and after longer period of time (1-2h) PC shuts down, like pulling the plug out. Temps of CPU and GPU are normal, under load dont exceed 70C. Just for a test Ive start the same game and turned down all graphic settings to minimum and there was no problem yet. Ive also changed cables and power outlets.

        Pardon my two cents, but it might be worthwhile to download Speccy (free) - piriform.com and look at the temps under load. 70C is pretty warm. If your machine shuts down after 1-2hrs of heavy usage, it sounds like inadequate cooling.

          Do you have a friend that you can take your system and test?
          If yes, go and see if your system has any problems there.

          Then you will know for sure.

            Im using openhardwaremonitor for that purpose, GPU never exceeded 65C ang CPU was max 67C on on core all under very heavy load after long time. During the summer on my old PSU temps on CPU were reaching above 70C at times but nothing happend back then even after very long use.

              Just came back and left my pc in a good shop to check it out. Should be done by tomorrow.

                But you have no way of knowing what the temperature is inside of the PSU which is what is under the most load.

                That is the best course of action imho.
