@Jad, download HWMonitor and check the CPU temps. What are they? I presume that you're using the stock cooler. Did you apply thermal paste when you installed it?

my max temp is like 62 for the cpu and 55 for the gpu and i am using the stock cooler and i did apply thermal paste

Okay, those temps wouldn't restart the machine. I'm now leaning towards the power supply being the problem, even though it has enough wattage. What is the precise model # for it?

it came with the case ( atx 12v)
product number : TM-500-PSSR-M3
AND THE CASE IS COOLER MASTER

My best guess it that this particular model of power supply is creating the problem. You need to upgrade it. The one below is MUCH better quality.
