I made a custom build ( a underwhelming one but thats what i could afford) with
Amd fx 8320e
Kingston hyperx 8gb ram
1TB Western digital hard disc
Zotac nvidia gtx 750 ti
And a 350 watt coolermaster powersupply (don't know the model).

Si, this build was made around 1.5 year ago and now i started facing some problem with it. As the title says my pc is sometimes rebooting or sometimes shutting down itself. Sometimes it gave me a error saying " kernel security check faliure" accompanied by a blue screen. Another error i encountered over this week was watchdog timeout error (not exact). I was running windows 8.1pro 64bit and thought drivers may be the problem, i did everything including changing to windows 10 pro....... But no help. My pc actually gets really hot while i play games ....... So what could be the problem? I think the psu. Please suggest me a move(that i should make). I would be thankful to you

the mainboard is just on the limit to be capable to handle this cpu

the psu is not ideal for this pc

you could get better aircooling but the temperature errors doesn't inclue the kernel security error you mention

i can't be sure what is your issue here, could be ram, mainboard

can you do some tests with a differnet ram stick?

I also can't understand what the errors are about. But just now i checked the cpu temperature and it was around 70c + !!!!
It was loud though(the fan).
Uhm.....the ram i, can't change them but i will try my best to check them too. But what could be the reason for a ram faliure? Any?

try with other tools like hwmonitor

still, the temps could be real or fake but the psu is small and the mainboard could be not enough for this cpu, it should because the cpu is 95watts and the mainboard is 95watts

so try with another ram stick and another psu to discard those components in the kernel and in the suden restarts/shutdowns error

are you using the stock cooler on the cpu?
