Hello everyone, I don't know why is it happening out of the sudden but my PC keeps restarting when I run Dying Light [which is a high graphic game] the thing is after playing it for like ~10mins the computer turns off then it goes on again, sometimes it goes off and I have to turn it on myself..
When I say restart, I mean the monitor goes totally black then it boots normally, not that it restart in the regular way^^
As not an expert I thought it's powersupply problem.. but I'm not sure..

Yes, random reboots and shutdowns are often caused by PSU issues.

There isn't much info out there about the Superb beyond thre being two models, one made by FSP and the other by AcBel. That would make it either a tier three or four PSU. If it is more than a few years old, PSU issues are fairly likely.

I'm thinking of buying 1 of these:
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Supply-220-G2-0650-Y1/dp/B0106RDIN2/
or
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Supply-220-G2-0550-Y1/dp/B0106RDI3W/

Which one you think is better? and is it a good choice?
