would it be possible to check the power supply watts/volts or w/e without shutting down my comp/opening it up?

and when you say computer case, you mean the actual tower case itself, like the model of my comp?

You would need to open your case if it does not have a window.

no..
is it a prebuilt?
if it is, did you change the power supply or no?

G.P.U.-Z. could record your G.P.U.'s temperatures up to the point when this occurs and log those to a file.
