Hey guys.

I've looked through a number of other similar threads for answers to my problem and cant seem to find the solution. Hoping to see if someone can come up with something to help me.

As the title suggests, my pc keeps rebooting while playing certain games such as battlefield 4, the crew, the witcher 3 and, oddly, firewatch, while doing fine ( at least for a decent ammount of time ) with others like fifa 15 ,dark souls 3 or grim dawn.

I've already checked the CPU and GPU temps. The CPU never once hit the 50 º C mark and the GPU never once hit the 80 º C mark, which I have defined as the gpu temp target in ASUS GPU Tweak in my current overclock profile. I chose this mark, in case anyone is wondering, after browsing the web for recomendations on the max temp my particular GPU should be reaching.

I've also sent the pc to the shop where I bought all the individual parts ( they assembled it there too ) and,other than some dust in the case, they couldnt find any other source for the rebootings. They even said they couldnt even replicate them in their tests (even though admitedly I cant be sure of how hard they tried to replicate them).

I've had the pc for about a year and a half now.

Specs :

CPU: I5 4690k 3.5 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
GPU: GTX 970 Strix 4 gb
Motherboard : Msi Z97 gaming
PSU: XFX PRO750W

Any thoughts ?

1| Can you list your specs as:
CPU: (and cooler if applicable)
Mobo:
Ram:
GPU:
SSD:
HDD:
PSU:
Case:

2| Have you made sure your BIOS is up to date?
3| Have you made sure your drivers are also current?
4| You might want to see if you can borrow a PSU from a friend that has a unit of similar brand and quality to see if the PSU is the culprit.
5| One other thing to note would be to see if the power from your wall socket and your entire house(for that matter) is in order as some power spikes can and will cause havoc to your system.

You also forgot to mention your OS. If the issue comes up when the entire system is taxed to it's fullest then the issue is with the PSU, IMHO.
