I got my PC built 2 weeks ago and every since I've had it every time I play a game it will turn off as if i have pulled the cable out and restart normally. My setup is:
- intel core i7 3770
- Corsair CX-600 V3
- Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
- Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard
- Geforce GTX 660 2gb
The computer is very new so components being full of dust is not an issue.
I've gone through nvidia support to determine if theres anything wrong with the gpu and they got me to run a few stress tests and it seemed to do fine.
In terms of overheating it is definitely not the problem. I never reach temps over 50 - 60 degrees when gaming which my pc can definitely deal with.
I've done a bit of research and a lot of people with the same issue think that its their psu. being 600 watt it should have enough power so could it be faulty? does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and the solution? If you need any more detail just ask. thanks heaps.

Thanks for the advice sorry for the late reply. I had a friend test the ram as well as give me his graphics card which is almost identical to mine. I'm still having the same problem. Could it be a faulty psu?
The weird thing was when i tested it at his house it worked fine for an hour so i took it home, after 10 mins at my house it crashed.
