"Random" instant reboots, maybe caused by PSU/browser

Recently built a machine, not sure if my 750w PSU can keep up. Temperatures all seem good. I've monitored them while web browsing and gaming using Speccy and EVGA OC scanner. Temps stay normal, and the instant reboot seems to happen only when I'm browsing the web.

I've tried Firefox and Chrome and IE and it happens within seconds to minutes of browsing. But if I don't open a browser, such as playing a game or just running monitoring software, it stays up indefinitely. I've also tried msched.exe with 0 errors.

Here's my speccy for hardware information. Thanks for any help.

I don't have any logs to go on that I know of. Event viewer doesn't report anything strange other than the unexpected shutdown.

My PSU is:
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible

Hmm, I'll have to think about this one. Haven't heard of a broswer causing crashes before xD

Your PSU is a better model from corsair so I doubt that it the problem.

Obvious question, but have you tried completely removing, then reinstalling your browsers?
