Random Reboots While Gaming

Ok so I did a new build a week ago. The specs are:

- Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
- Ryzen 5 1600 with aftermarket Be Quiet! cooler overclocked to 3.7 with under voltage to 1.224 V (which was stable in 1 h Aida 64 stress test. The temps don't go over 65C)
- Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 3000mhz
- SeaSonic 850 W power supply
- Sapphire 280x Toxic 3GB
- Samsung 850 SSD
- WD Black HDD

So the problem occurs when I game. The PC restarts, the fans and LED lights continue to work but the BIOS does not boot. When I turn the PSU off and turn it back on it boots as normal, but if I go to the BIOS and without doing any change hit Save it goes in the same working fans/not booting BIOS state. I did a RAM test from windows and it was ok and functional. Could the under voltage cause this sort of problem?
 
Solution
sounds like you have enough volts to run aida64 but not enough to boot the system successfully.
bump the volts to 1.3 and see if that helps. or better still just set em to default then 1s your happy everything is working start reducing them in .125 increments. when it fails to boot again go back to the second last voltage used for a successful boot.. (cpus actually need higher volts to boot than they do to run)
