My computer has decided to begin randomly restarting. I'm not entirely sure why or what the problem is. I've been reading forum posts about the problem but its such a vague and non-specific issue that there are so many instances of it, I cannot determine what the right course of action should be.
The PC only restarts as far as I can tell while playing games. Sometimes it doesn't happen for days then it might happen 5 times in a row. When it restarts the PC doesn't turn off, the screen just goes straight to black and then Windows boots up again. I've changed out my RAM (from 8GB to 16 GB) and that didn't stop it. My PSU is 1150w and as far as I can tell it doesnt seem to be a power issue as the PC doesn't actually turn off when it happens.
I'm pretty lost here and the more it happens the more worried I am. I don't want the constant restarts to mess up other components of the PC and I'm sure its a hardware issue but I don't know what?
