Hi, my PC(i7-4790K, 4x 4.0 Ghz, 2x8192MB DDR3, 4096MB NVIDIA Geforce GTX970) keeps restarting without any crash messages or anthing like that while playing these two games(many others work just fine, happens while playing, not while starting the games). I assumed it was some kind of overheating issue so i kept a look on the temps while playing and noticed that m gpu fan wasn´t working at all. After setting it manually to about 50% the restarts still happened. Can someone help me, the PUBG-Support couldn´t.
 
Solution
That model is notoriously unreliable. Borrow a good PSU to test. If still within warranty, RMA and get a new one. However, you may want to think about getting a really good one.

Thanks, I will try it and come back here with my results.+

Results: I ordered the Corsair CX 550W, built it in and now the games work just fine. Thanks again vapour. :)

i had the same problem with evil within 2 only all other games worked fine.
my PSU is Corsair CX750M.
my solution was to reset the BIOS to optimized defaults which worked fine for me. (apparently my ram settings caused the issue)
