My PC restarts after launching a steam game. This started a few days ago. The last few days would take me 2 or 3 launches before the game would play correctly. I've monitored temps since then and my temps never go above 75 degrees under load and are around 30-40 without load.
I also have tried restoring my PC and resetting it and both times it says it was unable to restore/reset. I've already ordered a new PSU but was wondering what else it might be.

PC specs:
MB: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7
CPU: Intel i7-4790K
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070
16gb ram

Ended up being the PSU failing.
 
Solution
Might be a failing PSU that gets overloaded when the game starts and the gfx card is under heavy load. What is the make/model of your PSU?
