PC "Resetting" randomly

So about 2 weeks ago my computer started turning off and rebooting randomly. What is weird about this, is that there is no overheating, im monitoring them constantly. No overclocks. Also when this happens, my power never cuts out. It basically does the same thing a computer does when you press the reset button. Im not sure if there is a possibility of my drivers causing this, or something else. Every once in a while the computer will not automatically reboot, but it will go into standby mode where it will not come back on unless i hard restart it.

What Ive Tried:
-Cleaning out dust
-Fresh thermal paste
-reseating all components and power cables
-CMOS reset
-Recreating the restart. (I have never had this happen while playing any games. Only has happened on desktop)

PC:
FX-8350
GSkill Sniper Series 16GB 1600mhz
RadeonHD 6950 Twin Frozr II
MSI 970A-G46
Seagate 500Gb HDD 7200RPM
WD Black 1TB HDD 7200RPM
Rosewill 1000w PSU 80 Plus Bronze

Quick recap: Computer is acting as if you press the reset button. (Button has been disconnected from the mobo).

Thanks for reading.

Ive had this setup for about a year, and in about feburary i upgraded from an fx6200 to the 8350. I have a nice zalman heatsink on it. Temps are always good. And actually while playing bf3 today, it turned off. First time while gaming..And yes every power setting is disabled and windows is on high performance. Unfortunately i dont have another psu to test.
