ram : default 8 gb ram
psu : Cooler master G750M
gpu : asus amd R9 280 3gb
os : Windows 8.1
hdd : Western digital 1 tb

i tried some of the method i seen at the forum but it won't work my pc still restart when i tried playing games or just browsing the games


need help !

it's ok if there is no solutions lol...

note : it's not over heating problem
this com was built 5months ago
first 3 month was good until the restart problem starts
disable auto restart but it still auto restart


is it possible for the motherboard to cause the restart?

as i tried switching with a lower gpu and the com still restart so im out of idea now

It's got to be your power supply. The Cooler Master G series are very poorly made units, I would suggest replacing ASAP. Motherboard won't cause the random restarts unless you're running on something other than default settings. Most likely your PSU isn't putting out enough voltage and amperage to power both your CPU and GPU.
