My 1 year old computer just restarts now while playing games (re7, csgo, dota 2).

My specs:

msi h81m-p33 mobo
i5-4460
geforce gtx 970
4gb ram (x2)
corsair vs650

What I did:
-Replaced heatsink and thermal paste. CPU temps are good
-Ran FurMark (5 mins gpu test) and restarted
-Ran prime95.exe (5 mins ram test) and it passed

-Could it be my video card or psu? im trying to reinstall 970 drivers hoping this will fix the problem. I dont wanna spend for another decent video card again. :(


 
Solution
Their no way to deal with a bad power supply but to replace it.
Try to borrow a friends that has enough watts for your PC to make sure that is the problem, but it usually is.
