Okay, so a while back I got a new CPU, PSU, and mobo for Christmas. I checked compatibility before buying and people were even recommending this so I know that isn't an issue and it was running great, excellent in fact. But here recently it started restarting when I open a hardware intensive game. But after it restarts and everything is back up and running I can open up the games and they run great for as long as I want them to! But once I shut it completely off and turn it back on it restarts when I open a game and then it'll run! I thought it was my GPU, and I tested it with FurMark, that's isn't the problem. Then I thought HD, I'm unsure how to check that other than the test you can do from your Hard Drive properties tools. Then, my PSU. I have HWMonitor and I checked the +5v but I don't have much experience with the program so I'm unsure as to what is good and what is bad. I saw someone on here say that they were having that same problem because their PSU was bad and that you need to check the +5v. But anyways, I hope you can or will help me.

Thanks for you time and Help,

Admirable
as for what you have explained.

the PC just restarts on starting a game, but after the restart the PC will work fine, even running the game that caused the restart.

does this happen to any other game besides the one you mentioned?

Yes, it happens on all good looking, as in graphics, games. And yeah after it restarts it runs fine. Ooh and it only happens when opening game, I can watch videos and everything and it won't but when I open a game it likes to restart
