considering the situation, it could be a shitload of things. the psu (or any other part) could be fucked, maybe a heatsink broke loose and it's overheating.
take it apart and look for any superficial things like broken/bent condensators etc, check the heatsinks. hdds could also be damaged.
if it still shuts off, it's probabaly time to play trial and error amd exchange parts till you find the faulty one(s).

Yeah thanks, gonna start by taking a look at the cpu then work my self through the components. What temperature should the cpu be at if the heatsink is broken?

taking readings while in bios:
12v: 11,928V
5v: 5.136V
3.3v:3.328V
Vcore: 1.312v
cpu fan speed: 1939rpm
mb: 31 celsius
cpU: 73 celsius
the cpu temp at 73 is really worrying, i guess starting with the cpu is the best right?

looks like the heatsink is loose, gonna do a nice checkup of every component and fix the cpu.

compressed air, maybe with a thin tube attached so you can stick it right inside. i also have a pair of medical tweezers for that, they're less than 1mm at one end, great for cleaning even the stuff that you can't blow out.

Be sure to close the window next time you play with joystick. You may get upset and throw joystick out of the window and PC with it.
