As angelice said, your PSU is probably dying - increasingly frequent random shutdowns and restarts is a common sign of PSU trouble. Eventually, your PC may fail to boot altogether and in some cases, the PSU may even damage or destroy other components as it fails.

They give me 1 year warranty which is expired now.
Computer runs normal without load like watching movies or using internet or very low graphics game
but when i play games on 1080p computer restart at random times like 5 to 10 minutes
so if this is a psu problem why it is not restarting in normal use ?

during normal use you are not using as much power once you begin doing things that tax the computer (benching/playing games) you reach Load wattage which is usually 3-4x the idle power usage.
Sorry about the warranty usually corsair has 3 or so year warranty

Yes we have 1 year warranty here no matter its cooler master or corsair or any brand because we have no official stores of those brand in Pakistan

yeah that's unfortunate. I would still suggest changing the power supply out that is most likely the culprit. If you had someone that you could pull a similar sized power supply from and test with that would help.
