I was playing a game and suddenly pc turns off and goes back on. I was like, okay then..
A month later (now) it happens again, this time while just randomly browsing facebook.
I've tried booting it in safe mode but it happens again. Im not a computer expert so I dont know how to fix hardware problems (cuz it's probably the PSU)

I've overclocked my GPU once but I figured it didnt improve much so I returned it back to the normal settings in Afterburner. I did not reset my motherboard cuz I dont know how to safely do so.

My pc specs:

Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Graphics Card
MSI R7850 Twin Frozr
Power Supply
MS-Tech MS-N750-VAL 750w

It's not overheating cuz I checked the CPU temps aswell as the GPU temps in multiple high end games and the temp was around 50 max.

How do I fix this problem? It's driving me nuts! I just wanna play some games..

Thanks in advance.

Solution
There can be several reasons the system shuts down or re-boots itself. The most common is the power supply. If it is too weak, too cheap, or just defective, it can't maintain the necessary voltages under load and the processor goes into shut down mode.
