Yes my computer restarts when im playing games this is any games really annoying. Temps reach CPU max 50s GPU max 60's. Dont think its overheating. Have reinstalld windows and drivers about 4 times now so must be hardware.

Specs:
Motherboard ASUS M5A78L
CPU: AMD FX
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7870
Fan cooling
1 terabite Memory
Ram 8gb

Thats all I know of the top of my head. Please help its only new and pissing me of as I cant play games. Ran a Burn in test for 2 and a bit hours came up with no Errors except 3D and 2D test interrupted but they started again

If those are your temps (and those are good temps), then i would concur that it sounds like your power supply isn't able to provide enough power to everything at once. The burn in is probably CPU or GPU only, which probably get enough on their own, but you crank up both pretty well on high-end games, which is when PSU's are pushed the hardest. What kind of PSU do you have? (and more specific specs on the rest of your machine would be helpful)

If your computer just restarts without BSOD or any other warning signs (eg lockup) then I would say PSU is most likely faulty and/or probably pushed to its limits. 450w PSU is pretty weak these days w/ dedicated graphics etc.
