Hi! this has became a bigger and bigger problem over time and I still dont know whats causing it.
I can play games like CS:GO Fine with 700 fps or so, I can play rust fine with like 200 Fps on high settings everything goes good, until about 5 mins into rust, and my whole computer just instantly turns off and restarts, I went onto real temp and got my temperatures and they mark at about 35*C while Im just sitting on the desktop. I will list my specs bellow! (This problem happens on graphics intenence games!)


: CPU:
: Intel Core i7 3770K clocked @ 3.50GHz
: RAM:
: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 clocked @ 1667MHz (9-9-9-24)
: Motherboard:
: Gigabite Z77X-D3H
: Graphics:
: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
: Storage:
: Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH166
: Optical Drives:

I have had this happen on 2 of my computers so far with no apparent cause (dust, overheating, etc.) and it has been the power supply failing. As far as I understand, the output filtering capacitors go a bit out of tolerance and the safety mechanism cuts power and then the computer restarts. If you check your event log, you may see an event id 41 error (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2028504) and that is usually caused by power problems.

One time I had a bad hard drive that caused these type of restarts but that is a different story...
