I did that a while ago, by now my guess is either a failing psu or gpu. Could it be the psu?Edit: I've just done a test, It went of while the GPU temp was 72 C and CPU was 40 C,
Those temps are fine. So definitely not heat.
It could be the PSU, that would be my next guess.
You can only test it by dropping in a known working unit.

Yeah I thought that too, but it's odd to me because it only happens while gaming, so i'm not sure about the psu. When you game, your graphics card pulls a lot miore power than during any other use.
So it could be a issue with your PSU overheating or a circuit that only becomes problematic when it needs to deliver more power.
What EXACT model PSU do you have?

Since that is not a very trusted unit and actually provides a lot less wattage than its rated for, replacing it is worth it, even if it isn't the problem.
Here is a tierd PSU list rated by quality of the PSUs.
Stick to tier 1, tier 2a and tier 2b.
