Hi, recently my PC has started restarting itself (cut to black, then windows boots again fans have stayed on, lights have stayed on etc.) whenever I go to play a game
I have tested it on both Warframe and Overwatch, the game will begin loading and then the PC restarts as soon as the game finishes loading
I ran a stress test on Prime95 to see if it would restart then and it didn't so I don't think it's related to cooling issues, I tested it for about 10 minutes which is longer than I have been in any game before the PC will restart (Core temp about 20C idle 40C under load GPU about 30 idle and 50 under load)
I also reinstalled all of my graphics drivers as I thought that may of been the cause but it is still happening
Specs:
AMD FX6300
ASUS Strix GTX 960
ASUS M5a97 EVO R2.0
Corsair CX500 PSU
Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb)
Windows 10
WD Black 1TB
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Corsair Spec-03 case (one fan at front and one at back)
My PC is about 2 years old now and I use it about 4-8 hours a day on most days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
