hi,
recently i am facing a problem while playing games (like Nier, styrex,battlefield 4 etc.). pc reboots within a few minutes. i checked my graphics card and ram and everything is fine. i do a clean setup recently so there is no virus problem. i am suspecting my psu unit. it is Thermaltake smart SE 530W Moduler power supply. is it enough?? my pc specs are given below:

* intel skylake Core i5 6600 3.30GHz
* Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3 DDR4
*RAM G.skill Ripjaws V 8GB DDR4 2400 BUS
*Sapphire NITRO R9 380x 4GB GDDR5 PCI express GPU

please tell me what should i do??

That power supply should be enough taking for granted it isn't going bad.

As for afterburner, I am not convinced that heating isn't the issue. Check out your CPU fan. My PC was doing the same thing and was shutting down pretty fast, before it got too hot even. Turns out, my CPU fan was going bad and the MB could detect that it wasn't working right and kept wanting to shut down to protect itself. Replaced the fan and it stopped.
