So here's my computer motherboard msi z77a-g43, 8 gb ddr3 ram, i5-3330 cpu @3.00GHz, power supply- powerlogic magnum pro 475 950W max, nvidia gtx 660 and if you need more info let me know. I have had some problems especialy in summer with the overheating and while playing games such as lol,csgo and such it gets too hot and restarts. What can i do to solve this. I vaccumed it, clearing out data that wasnt needed etc.

Well your PSU is extremely weak its definitely not a 950w unit as it can't deliver even half of that. If you were to combine the output of the 2 12v rails it would only deliver 360w(advertises 2 15a 12v rails) and most psus(especially the low quality ones) the sum of the 12v rails does not equal there actual max output so I say this PSU is closer to a 300 maybe a 350w unit. The psu likely has some low quality capacitors that are overloaded and overheated and causing the system to shut down. Either way I highly suggest getting a better unit before the one you have catches fire and/or damages the system. Ypu may still want to check your other temps but that PSU is a big red flag.
