Hi
That UPS is 600 Va Not Watts that means it can have a loading of about 360 Watts .
Basically you are overloading the UPS,it happens in gaming as that is when your PC is drawing the most power.

what you should do is get a bigger power supply because when you are gamming you are drawing all the power from it and there is not enough to run the rest of your system so it shuts down and when it restarts your game is not running any more so there is ample power to run your system and that is why it is happening so get a bigger power supply and make sure it is in watts not va any computer shop can help you out with this
