Hey guys I need help with this problem . Anytime I use my PC It restarts and goes back to the loading screen and back into my login without an error message or anything at all .it restarts automatically but it doesn't have a certain pattern to it sometimes it restarts while am playing games or when just browsing without any warning but it depends. it has it's moments where it would restart 5mins after booting back up on other occasions not restarting after restarting the first time after rebooting itself.
At first I thought it was just having a problem downloading and installing windows updates so I changed its settings but the problem still happens .For certain games such as DAY-Z it doesn't restart at all and usually doesn't restart after opening up day-z for a few hours same goes for internet explorer sometimes and on two occasions when it has restarted I have reopened my steam and certain games would be completely uninstalled from the computer.i have completely uninstalled all the programs that where on and just reinstalled them and the problem still happened any help would be appreciated thank you very much

Hardware ms-7760,msi, x79a-gd45 plus (ms-7760)
CPU - genuine intel core tm i7-4820k CPU @ 3.70 ghz intel 856 level 6

power issues to your graphics adapter. Check the supplemntal power connectors from the power supply to the GPU. (or the power supply is not providing proper power)

if it is a power problem to the graphics card, you should find that if you disable your browser's hardware acceleration might delay the problem until you run a game.

it could also be cause because of graphics overclock software installed with a poor power supply.
(remove any graphics driver overclocking software, or maybe update power supply)
