-I've recently upgraded my computer, replacing the motherboard, cpu, and gpu, here are my current specs: GTX 970 windforce/ i7-4790K intel processor/ Thermal talk NiC C5 thermal cooler/ ASROCK Z97 EXTREME4 motherboard/ 700w power supply.
So, the actual problem is, when playing certain games, such as H1Z1, csgo, or MGSV (as far as I know) my pc will randomly shut off and reboot for no reason. It's strange since I can run rainbow 6, or GTA V for ex. at very high to max settings. Since I'm on windows 10, it doesn't show an error message. I've tried many methods, re-plugging everything, virus scanning, checking hardware/software, heating is normal for all my games, I can't seem to find a solution online, please help!

cheacked Event viewer angot this ssage when trying out a few methods, I gave up because non seemed to have done anything The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. (Event 41 Kernel-power (63)
 
Solution
Did you reinstall your PC after replacing the hardware? There might be old drivers of your previous components and they aren't so friendly. If PC restarts it's not an overheating problem. I suggest you install new MOBO chipset drivers, if not helps - do a clean OS install.
