Is my PSU causing reboots?

I have a BFG 550 PSU.

During high loads while gaming (LoL usually) my computer shutsdown and reboots.

My specs are Intel Core 2 Duo (3ghz Wolfdale), 4GB RAM, Nvidia EVGA GT 520. 3 SATA HDD.
 


Well there you go. Ram can cause all sorts of silly. Same thing, is there any other computers that you can test the RAM with?

No there isn't. I should pull out the ram one by one and run memtest. But I'm assuming they all just get very hot. My motherboard slots for RAM could be failing also. :(

I've had a similar problem with my PSU before (and while playing the same game :)). The problem was that I had a faulty PSU. I had to contact the manufacturer to get a replacement. Thank God for warranties. I plugged in that new one and everything worked great. A lot of times the PSU is bad and messes up everything. I hope you still have your warranty ._.

While Memtest finished fine with one of the RAM out. My Computer still restarted itself. I'm going to replace my PSU probably and see if that doesn't solve the problem. Ty all.
 


Yep. Try to grab an Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, or XFX, as they make the best PSU's, hands down.
