Hi everyone over the past couple of days my pc has been restarting randomly while playing games. I originally built this PC in the first week of December and have not had a problem since yesterday. At first I thought it to be a game issue as it was only occurring with Diablo 3, but I started up Dragon's Dogma again today and the PC reset itself again. Up until yesterday my PC ran perfectly fine I was playing Witcher 3, Warframe, Fallout 4 all fine and no problems.
My temps while idle hover around 15C, and while playing D3 both GPU and CPU do not go above 40C so I don't think it would be temperature issue. Could this be a PSU issue or motherboard issue?
Here are my pc specs:

I would hate it to be a PSU or motherboard issue because I thought that EVGA P2 and the gigabyte gaming 7 were highly rated and recommended components at the time. I do have a extra PSU on hand from my old build its a Corsair GS600 I think it should be fine for at least testing my computer to see if its another part. Should my next step be to test the PSU with the paper clip method and let it sit there independently to see if it turns off? Does anybody have any other suggestions to what could be causing the random resets and what to look for?
Thanks for all the help,
WZ
