Hello,

I have these specs:
MOTHERBOARD: Asus H-87 PLUS
CPU: i7 4770 without OC
GPU: XFX HD 7970 without OC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600MHz
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair CS650M

While I play games like Dying Light and Battlefield Hardline Beta, after a few minutes, my PC suddenly restarts without warnings like BSOD. Then, I've ran a Furmark test as 1920x1080 with no AA and after 10 seconds it restarted again. Could you please help me?

But my PSU have handled well by far. It has started troubleshooting about a week ago.
PS: sorry because I've put the wrong GPU. It is a XFX 7970 without OC. So, it runs fine with my PSU.
 


Regardless, the PSU is still a lower quality one. The fact that it started suddenly could mean it's starting to deteriorate.

Oh. Well, can it be the CPÙ? Because I get around 80ºC during gameplays.
 


It could be. open your case and check the temperature again.

Now, I'm almost sure that is the CPU. haha

Normal Usage (just Chrome is open): 60ºC - 67ºC

Then I executed BlueStacks (Android Emulator): 85ºC - 92ºC

WTF. I'll exchange the thermal paste.
