1. Work on sentence structure, its hard to figure out what you're saying
2. Who makes your power supply, it seems like it might be the problem, because you are saying it just "shuts off", either PSU or motherboard

edit: wrong forum, should be in general hardware, but w/e

the maker of the power supply is Codegen...and sorry for the bad sentence structure

Its most definitely the power supply
When it crashes, does it give you a Windows error and crash, or does it just shut off?
Also, try letting it idle in the BIOS setup screen, does it shut off then?

the computer just shuts off by itself...its making me mad

Sometimes if the plug from teh PSU to the motherboard is loose, it'll do that, otherwise its the PSU, are you sure your processor isn't overheating and the motherboard is automatically shutting it off, most motherboards do that

i just check the power supply wire to the mobo...its on there tight...and i don't think the processor is over heating...the cpu fan is blowing at 4000 rpm...bio says its at 35c

I'd have to say its the PSU
If your saying its a Codegen PSU, I'm assuming it came with the case, dump it, get an Antec or Enermax PSU

i'll buy a new psu then...and yes the psu did come with the case, well it asted for a good 3 years
