hello guys, 1 year ago i bought my gaming pc with the following components:
amd fx 8350 cpu
msi gtx 670 twin frozr 4 gpu
asrock 990 fx extreme 9 mobo
16 gm ram corsair vengeance
120gb ssd from a-data
1000w psu 80 plus bronze from high power
1 tb hdd caviar blue
and this cooler: http://www.titan-cd.com/Y_product_C_uni_cpucooler_e.php?id=889 with the side fan(140 mm ) sucking air from outside and the back fan ( 120 mm ) is sucking air from inside and trowing it outside.

now my problem is that every time i play a game like battlefield 3 / battlefield 4 or cs go on ultra graphics or even high sometimes my pc restarts.i tried to run some test for the cpu and gpu and these are the results:
cpu is 40%under load and temps are under 55°C
gpu is under 56% load and temps are under 58°C
so i think taht cpu and gpu are ok but the pc keeps restarting while gaming
i cleaned it and i replaced the thermal paste on the cpu but it still does that.
what can i do??? please help!!! it never did this until 1 month ago.

Your power supply may be overheating and/or failing. Random unexplained restarts are often power issues. A 1000 watt PSU has no business being only 80Plus Bronze rated. That means that it may burn off up to 200 watts of heat at 100% load which will greatly reduce lifespan. 1,000+ watt PSUs must be Gold or Platinum rated

HWInfo reports 11.6-25.3C which is too low. Your core and clock seems OK

What cpu temp are you getting in bios/uefi? 55C is a touch high if gaming. But not too high.

Your PSU voltages are OK

Your GPU is at idle.

Did you get the restarting to stop?

Unexplained restarts under load conditions are often power related. Computers don't just randomly restart when something goes wrong, they either freeze up or generate a kernel error (BSoD). This could indicate an issue with the power regulation and delivery circuitry on the motherboard, but PSU failure is far more common. High Power is not a particularly well known brand name but it's manufactured by Sirtec which is a fairly common OEM (albeit not on the same tier as Seasonic, Delta, or Flextronics). My concern is with the Bronze rated kilowatt PSU that you have in there. It simply can't be well constructed.
