pc shuts down unexpectedly

Hi ..I'm new here and i really need any help i can get..i have an asus x550vx laptop and for the last month or so it's been shutting down unexpectedly, mainly when i'm gaming (nowadays when the game is still opening and it happens)..I tried a new system installation / updated drivers and windows /changed thermal paste / changed the heat sink, BUT I KEPT THE FAN as it is. I just tried  the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool and mid test pc went out just like that,  so i reopened it and relaunched  the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool and i will be providing a screenshot of the test that caused the shutdown..

PC specs : i7 6700hq /8gb RAM DDR4 2133MHZ / 120 gb SSD

At this point i'm suspecting the FAN or the PSU because in the events journal i have kernel power errors, which i will provide as a screenshot also..THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.

Check the fan(s)

Blow out the dust on the heat sink and intake/exhaust areas

re-do the thermal paste.

i cleaned the fan to the best of my ability..even the technician when i brought the pc to him said i'ts good enough no need  to replace it..so i only ended up replacing the heatsink and the exhaust attached to it.
