My PC shuts down and restarts instantly but i get "no signal" on the monitor after it restarts.
I have to shut it down and start it again from the button in order to work...

What could it be? power supply? gpu? hdd?
I checked the CPU and changed the paste, i checked the HDD, i checked the RAM, the GPU, i have not idea what could it be...

Thanks.

CPU: FX6300
GPU: SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition OC 1GB GDDR5
RAM: kingston 8gb 1333mhz (i'm not sure about the mhz)
MB: ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX
PSU: it's a 500w (that's what they say...) that came with the case (B-MOVE), i was on a low bugdet

How old is the power supply? Sapphire states that a 450 watt power supply is required (for the entire system) to use that card. I would not be surprised if your power supply can no longer provide that stable amount of power; which would account for your system restarts.

i built this PC about 1 and a half years ago, it worked great until now, i wasn't happy about the PSU since i bought it...i wanted to get a bronze one atleast but i couldn't.
i will get another one very soon so i won't end up destroying the whole PC with the random restarts

yes but to be honest i think it also happened once when not gaming, not sure if i remember right tho IF it happened once when not gaming
ingame happens randomly, it's not because alot of things happen at once or anything intense, i guess it reaches a limit and decides to give up...that PSU is suspicious
