I've just upgraded my PC with a new Motherboard, CPU, and RAM. However now while running games my PC will restart, usually after less than 10 minutes ingame (the few times I've timed it).

PC Part List

At first I thought it might be the new CPU overheating so I kept an eye on the temps, I'm seeing 18C while idling, and I haven't seen it break 30C (that I could see before a restart) while gaming.

It's JUST while gaming however, as I can leave it on overnight and get no restarts.

To top it off I also just upgraded to Windows 10, hopefully that's not a factor...

nope, no Blue Screens.

I'm using the System Information Viewer from the Gigabyte website. I grabbed it when I was getting drivers for my motherboard.

huh, bit of a difference from the Gigabyte system information app...

On a side note. I just went down to bestbuy and bought a new power supply. Replacing the Corsair HX750 with a Corsair CX850M. While I was in there I changed where I had the liquid cooler's pump and fans plugged in. I have the pump plugged into the CPU_OPT (and set to run full speed in the BIOS) and the radiator fans were plugged into a normal system fan slot, I just changed it to the CPU_FAN spot.

So far I've been in game for a record 30 minutes... so fingers crossed, I think it's finally stable.
