alright, ill try to be as specific as i can, i got a new pc for about a month or so (Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz;RAM 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz;MotherboardMSI B85M-G43 (MS-7823);Graphics4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (MSI)), not the best, not the worst, i think it should be pretty good for running the latest games pretty smoothly, and it is, but the problem i encountered is ironically on an older game, not really that graphically intensive,darksiders, i played it for like 4-5 hours, i had no lag issues, my computer was not overheating(60-70 degrees gpu, cpu around 45), and then suddenly it restarted, after it did, i tried opening the game again, but this time, i only got in the main menu then it restarted again, so i tried other games that i already had installed on the pc(league of legends, gta 5, cs go, dishonored, rise of the tomb rider, you get the point) and it was working well, so i thought to myself (it must be the game), so i deleted it, and got darksiders 2 instead, because i kinda got in the game, but the exact same thing happends, i get into the main menu and boom, restart, i am clueless, if you guys have any ideas, im listening.
worth noting that i never opened the bios of the pc, and i have a 550w psu.
thanks in advance

btw i posted this in the gpu section first, but the post didnt show up(at least on my screen), so i decided to post it here again, thinking its more fitting in the components section, because i dont think the gpu is causing the problems, so if a moderator sees this, you can delete the other thread, thanks
