PC restarts randomly while playing games??
Specs: i3 3220 3.3ghz, GTX 1050, 8 gb ddr3 RAM, Gigabyte b75m, Circle 500W Gaming PSU
i had a GT 630 earlier and crappy power supply changed it to GTX 1050 and Circle gaming PSU in July 2017.
PC was running fine until recently (since OCt 2017) it restarts while playing games. However it does not restart for every game.
For example : I could finish COD WW2 without any restart problem. I can play FIFA 18 without restart.
some games like ME Andromeda, Tekken, Titanfall 2 cause restart. (All games run just fine on high settings, no lag)

Is it mother board issue or PSU or cpu thermal paste required .. ???

all temperatures are normal there is no temperature spike whatsoever.



Pls help.

it did not happen earlier all of a sudden this started... and my PSU is just around 4 months old. had got it along with GTX 1050.

are u sure the issue is with psu and not any other component?
 
It sounds most likely a PSU issue and looking at this https://www.amazon.in/Circle-APFC-Gaming-cabinet-Server/dp/B00R07GFS2 despite having over all not that bad reviews there are a good few recent ones saying the quality is bad. It could also be unstable RAM either system or graphics card but i'd put money on the PSU, get one thats a decent make and has good reviews by independent testers not customers.
