It's obviously the power supply, winrar will max out your CPU and your PC is under some load when booting and gaming is a good load of course.
The GPU is new and if it was faulty wouldn't have reset while using winrar so, it is out of question).
change the power supply for a good quality one (there are some quite cheap power supplies which can do the job).

It's probably the power supply, most of the specs printed on these generic power supplies are fake so, it is probably having trouble handling the GTX 1060.
What graphics card did you have before it ?
Does your PC reset while gaming or while idle ?
