Hi,

I am currently experiencing an issue that is only occuring upon gaming. The computer can idle, indefinitely at the moment, however, when I open up the game SMITE, and play for aproxx. 1-3 minutes, the computer will reboot (without warning, no bsod, just like hitting the reset button on the front of the case). As far as I know, this is the only information I have on the problem and I'm looking for more advice on this situation. I need to know if this sounds like a power supply unit issue, as the power supply I have (based on reviews) dies almost 1-2 years sooner than what mine has lasted. Anyway, here are the specifications of my computer.

Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
Processor: Intel i7 860 Quad core (At base clocks)
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 660 SuperClocked (At base clocks)
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E Motherboard
Hard Drives: 2 x 500GB Seagates (Running in RAID-0)
*Power Supply: ZALMAN 750w 80 PLUS certified* Component in question
RAM: 2 x 4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series sticks

In regards to the power supply, I have made sure the filters on the case are cleaned and checked to make sure that the power supply's fan is still working and it IS working.

Thanks in advance,
Kobra.

EDIT: This computer was built in January of 2010. From there, the graphics card, RAM, and the CPU heatsink have been replaced.

I was also wondering if the EVGA SuperNova 1000w would be a compatible replacement for my current Zalman power supply?
