I will give you all the information I can give:

Intel 4770 3.4 GHZ
8gb DDR3
EVGA NVIDIA 660
3.0 TB Seagate HDD 7200 RPM
Coolmax 650w 120mm NW Series
Gigabyte Ultra Durable 5 GA-Z97X-D3H
Temps under load for CPU: 40-65C
Temps under load for GPU: 50-65C
System Temp (Via Bios): 35C

Things I've tried:
Disabled automatic restart upon system failure in order to receive the Blue Screen and further diagnose the issue. Nothing. It just restarts itself completely.
Checked individual Ram sticks one at a time. Nothing.
Sat in Bios for an hour to see if it restarts. Nothing.
Ran Norton Anti Virus multiple times. Found Nothing.
Intel Rapid Storage says HDD Is operating as normal.
Ran Prime95, no issues or restarts.

The computer just randomly restarts. Sometimes after a long while, sometimes very quickly. I may have forgotten steps I've taken but I think that's everything. I've hit a wall here. Last thing to note is that DRAM in Bios shows 1.488volts. Not sure if that helps but someone mentioned to me to check voltage settings in Bios however, I have no idea how to do this.

I was afraid of this. However, I don't have much choice. I've had this thing for around 2 years now and everything was pretty good. The only other two PSU's I have are no good. One's a 400w and the other is an 850 that when installed, just keeps restarting the system at STarting Windows.

I've been in safe mode yes, however I don't see how this would help. Btw, I might mention, I've done a clean installation of windows 7 around 3 times now.

It looks like I will have to lol. However, money is an issue atm as I've been out of work. But, I do thank you for pointing it out. I was afraid this might be the issue to begin with but wanted firm confirmation.

Well, oddly enough I do still have the box with all the details on it, however when it comes to PSU's, I'm not too great at understanding it so I'll have to go with that. Thanks again.

I put that 850 in out of desperation and now it's working fine. No restarts yet.
