My PC configuration is as follows:
MB: Gigabyte B85M-DS3H-A
PSU: Corsair VS650
RAM: Corsair 8GB
GC: Sapphire Nitro+ RX480
Processor: i5 4670.

Previously my graphics card was 650ti. I recently switched to RX 480. My machine works fine when I am not doing any gaming, but once I start a game the machine restarts at any sudden moment. Example, at 1080p AC Unity restarts as soon as I reach the main menu screen. So, I lowered the resolution and then I was atleast able to enter the game, but even after that the restart happens at any random interval in game. Previously I thought that it was the CPU temperature which was causing it, cause it was reaching above 80 degree Celcius. So, I bought a hyper cooler evo and the temps are now in control but the issue still persists. I am unsure if the problem is with card or the psu or anything else for that matter. Thanks in advance.
