My computer keeps restarting itself. There's no error message or blue screen, it just turns off and then restarts in a few seconds.

Build:

Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Dual FTW ACX Video Card
Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Asus PCE-AC68 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Windows 7 Professional

I built the computer a year ago, and this problem started a few months ago.

The case has a reset button and I thought I'd fixed the problem for a while by removing the connection from the button to the motherboard, but the problem seems to have returned. I ran a memtest and it found no errors. I tried downloading open hardware monitor and have some pics of it here. Of particular interest is the high temperature on the motherboard. I'm not sure what I can do to further troubleshoot it.

Thank you!

It may be the PSU.Since the MOBO is getting so hot.The rule for overclocking is more voltage= more heat.So the PSU may be pushing too much voltage through the MOBO causing it to overheat.

Thanks! I have something to add though. I mentioned on another forum that sometimes it doesn't restart and I have to hit the switch on the PSU to get it to turn back on. Someone said this means the problem is almost certainly the PSU. Do you agree with that, or do you think it might still be the motherboard?

Thank you. I'm pretty positive the PSU is the problem now but after I replace it I'll make sure to look at the motherboard again in case there's still a problem.
