Right its been happening to me for a while now and i tried a couple of things and none of them seemed to be working therefore i just switched to Xbox however i really miss playing games such as CS:GO etc.

So i have decided to really try everything, for the sake of you guys knowing everything from how it started i will just try and tell the whole story haha.

It all started when i moved house before everything was fine and working good however when i moved and plugged my PC etc. i tried playing a game everything was fine game launched no problem and i was in the middle of playing it while suddenly my computer just switches off no reason why, just a complete restart. At first i thought it was just a one off but it just kept on doing it and it was the same with any game. It launches i play for about 15/20 mins, and then boom restarts. I have checked online and no its not the power supply, no its not over heating and no its not the graphics card or the processor. My mind is gone and i even unplugged my sound card because i thought it might be the problem. i also installed Linux because i thought Windows was f*****g things up. and still it turns off while playing a game. So now before i go send my computer off to service i thought i may as well ask on some forums hoping for help.

-Windows 10
-Intel Core i5 3350p, 3.1GHz, 6MB Cache
-Aerocool 600w
-Msi B75A-G43 mainboard
-Gigabyte GTX 660
-8gb RAM

Aerocool power supplies are crap, so that might be the issue. That said if this problem only occurred after you moved to a new house, you might be having issues with your house's electricity, eg. you might be overloading the circuit you're plugged into or there is a problem with the circuit that is causing power loss. You may want to try plugging your computer elsewhere in your house and see if the problem persists.
