So, before I start, I am new to this forum. So whatever information is needed other than that that I provide, please tell me.
I purchased a Dell XPS 9000/435 from someone that he did not use. I took it home and cleaned the inside out with compressed air. The computer was originally on Windows Vista, I upgraded from that to 8.1 and then to Windows 10. I finally got to download my games. StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, and Subnautica. They both run very well on this PC. I have had the PC for about a month. The only upgrade I made on the computer was adding 2 8Gb RAM sticks.
About a week ago, I started to have an issue where I will boot up StarCraft II, play a game or two, then either during or after a game my computer will reboot. Then, I will try getting back into StarCraft and once it reaches the main menu it will reboot. The reboot ONLY happens while I am in game. I have the computer in an area that gets decent airflow, I have tried reinstalling Windows 10 AND StarCraft II. I am not sure if it may be the Power Supply or GPU. I planned on replacing the GPU with a GeForce GTX 950. I have also cleaned the fans in the PSU, the Intake fans, and the GPU fan. Nothing changed.
Here are the specs of the computer:
Intel Core i7 920 / 2.66 GHz
Intel X58 Express
ATI Radeon HD 4870
1 GB GDDR5 SDRAM
