NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Graphics Normally I would start with checking the Power Supply but as you said you have replaced it.
Was the replacement PSU a cheap unit?
Are you able to tell us the wattage rating on your PSU? I realise you only have a GT610 card in the machine but it is important none the less.
Have you tried running a monitoring program such as Speedfan or Coretemp?

This will allow us to ensure heat is not an issue. When you cleaned the dust out, did you also remove the heatsink from the top of the CPU at all? it is possible that there is limited contact to the CPU causing a slow thermal creep up to shut down due to temperature.
The last thing is the power quality in your household. Do you notice lights dim or interference with any old CRT style Televisions or monitors? It may be that you need a UPS or equivalent in order to keep stable current and voltage going to the PC. Also try another power outlet directly into the wall, TAKING out any power strips or adapters.If it's 4 months old I would be exercising my warranty - that is, after all, why you paid for someone to build it for you.Honestly, DOWNLOAD speedfan and check your temps, make sure its not an overheating issue also, install CPUID, and post your voltages as well so we can see what its pushing at.
