Hey, recently my PC has started to shutdown randomly when playing games. It wouldn't completely shutdown though. It would restart as if I used the windows key and choose the restart option. Well I used OCCT and thought it was my GPU because running OCCT would cause the comp to crash. When I increased the fan speed on my GPU though it stopped. So I thought it was fixed. Then came the burning smell. There was an odd smell coming from the pc like something was burning. So I am now suspecting it to be the PSU. Could the PSU be causing the PC to restart in intensive activities like this and create the bad smell?
Side note: I don't have an extra PSU to use. As my only other one is a 430w which is not enough to run my system.
