Have you tried a clean/fresh install of the graphics driver.
Also I would check it's not an overheating issue.

I'm also a cs:go player and know from experience that the game sometimes has problems with multicore processing, although I don't know for sure if it will fix your issue try disabling the multicore processing in the video settings in cs:go

Hi there, I am still having this problem I am going to ring them in the morning, it stopped for a while and has started shutting itself down again, I have re-installed the graphic drivers and still no difference

Do you have an overclock on the processor or GPU? If so, chances are that is the cause. If not, then that isn't the cause.
It is a bit odd that you have the i7-k and only the standard CPU cooler.

Ok I am still experiencing the problem :/ It turns off then says a Power Surge has been detected Unstable power supply, would it be worth buying another power supply to check?

Disable Asus Anti-surge in the bios.... Asus' own advice, it's too sensitive and often gives bad readings.
