So lately my computer will randomly completely shut down instantly. I have been trying to play BF1, and a couple of seconds in, bam PC shuts down, then has like a seizure of starting up and shutting down like 5 times. It is really annoying and I know it can't be good for my system. Could something be faulty? Or?

My specs
i7-4970k
GTx 1080
16 gigs of ram
Z97 motherboard
600w psu

Can someone please help it is really frustrating.

I have the same problem on my PC while playing BF1.
i5 4690k OC'ed to 4.4ghz, XFX R9 390
I updated my GPU drivers and that's when the restarts happened. I am rolling back, for now, to see if that help.
Otherwise, it might be your PSU or maybe some stupid software bug, go ahead and check your Event Viewer just in case. Make sure your 12.v and 5.v rails are averaged at 12.3v - 11.6 and 5.1v - 4.9v using HWInfo.

Did a quick cpu stress test, and temps got to about 71 max, and 68 average. Which is higher than usual.
but GPU was about 67

but I have heard problems with the CX which I really hope it isnt, but could it possibly be my ram too?
