So I recently built a gaming computer and everything is fine. Temperatures and voltages are normal, games run fine etc.
However, every blue moon my computer just turns off immediately and doesn't go through a shut down and then it restarts. This obviously isn't healthy for the pc so after the 2nd time of this happening I've come here.
No I have not over clocked my computer, yet.

Since, my temperatures for the gpu (50-70 degrees celcius) and cpu(never goes above 30 degrees) are normal I assume the issue lies with my power supply. Do I need a higher wattage? Or could the PSU be faulty?
Note: This happens when playing games or even just browsing
