I've lately had problems with with my (windows 10) PC. When ever i play games it can suddenly restart without warning. No Blue Screens btw, just a simple restart.

So far i've tried to:
-Clean my PC from dust
-Reinstal all my drivers
-Checked to see if overheating was the problem (it wasn't)
-Reset my PC
-gone to ''Advanced System Settings'' to turn of automatically restart

PC specs:
CPU: i5 4590
GPU: Turbo GTX 970 4gb
PSU: Corsair vs650
Mother Board: MSI Z97 gaming 3

Yea i cleaned my Windows setup, it didnt do allot though.

But i dont think it has anything to do with the hardware though, i bought this PC about 8 months ago and the problem apeared about 2 weeks ago. And when opened the pc up to clean up the dust, there wasnt much.

I rather think it has something to do with the drivers but i just can't figure it out..

I did not mean clean up your existing setup, I mean a clean Windows setup like the system was new.

With your lower quality VS power supply it may be the power supply, maybe video card, possibly RAM.

If it's a newer PC you should check with support for the vendor(s) for RMA returns to test things.

Download and install a rootkit detector (They are free), and make sure you have an up to date Virus Protection. Botnet's are getting huge and "Zombie" PC's or infected PC's have a lot of strange things happen to them, like when the PC Gets overloaded from doing all the stuff your doing, plus the stuff the controller is doing, it sometimes resets.

If the rootkit and antivirus come up clean, Is your pc being bumped or anything? And does it boot up immediately after it shuts down? or does it take a minute before it starts up.

Ok, i ran some antivirus programs but afterwards gaming would still restart my pc. and to awser your question, when the pc restarts it boots back up smoothly, not even an error message.

What i have noticed is that games with allot of detail are faster to restart my pc then low detail games. So i think there is something whrong with my Ram
