Hi guys. I have a problem with my pc and im not sure where to start looking. Its about 8 months old and this week it started restarting after i exit a game and once it restarted it boots up and restarts as soos as it shows the desktop have updated gpu drivers. While installing drivers on win 10 it restarted about halfway through. Formatted to windows 7 and managed to play 1 day before starting again. Appreciate all the help.

Asus gtx1060 6gb strix
Intel 6500 i5
Gigabyte h170m-d3h 1151 ddr4
500gb hdd
720w gigabyte psu
8gb hyperx savage ddr4 2133

 
Solution
The most likely culprit is the PSU. You may want try the build with a better one, such as a Tier 1 or 2.

If one of the output caps on it is going bad, sudden drops in power consumption would result in a spike in output voltage. That would cause the over-voltage protection to shut down the PSU, assuming it has over-voltage protection.
