Hi there, I'm quite new to all this PC gaming stuff but I'm having an issue.

My PC would randomly reboot when playing a game without no warning. Recently I put a new 750Watt PSU inside which helped a little bit but it still reboots, I'm sure it isn't the CPU overheating either because I'm using a custom CPU cooler.

The specs:-

Intel Xeon E5450
Giggabyte GTX 210
8GB of RAM
and that new 750Watt PSU

(pls no laugh at my specs ;-; I brought it as a base model to upgrade.)

Get a better psu! Maybe both your previous and current psus are not good. Get a better psu. If a good psu dies, the good thing is it will only die and not damage anything else. If a poor quality psu dies, it can take your whole system with it.

Your psu should be capable of providing a lot more than the power needed by your system. The psu, unless a badly built unit, shouldn't be an issue. Check your cpu temperatures again, this time with a monitoring software.

CPU runs at 60 Deg and the GPU at 40 Deg.

Tbh, I don't think it's the PSU, it was doing this before with the old one.

I see. I am not really sure then what can cause this issue. Try using your system with only one RAM stick, if you have multiple installed at the moment. This comes down to isolating if any single component is causing the issue in your system.
