My PC abruptly shuts itself down then turns itself back on occasionally.

Good day to everybody.

A problem is persisting in my PC that needs to be fixed. Sometimes, my PC will just randomly shut off and turn itself back on right after it shut itself off. I had first encountered this problem while I was playing Modded Minecraft with my friend on my server (Minecraft client and server are running off of the same PC) This error had persisted in the future then, when I was playing modded Minecraft on my server, but then this issue happened when I was casually browsing steam. Something that I find peculiar about this situation was it only happened AFTER I installed the Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 on November 15, 2017. I never had this problem happen to me on the previous version of Windows, even when I was still playing Modded Minecraft while hosting the server on my same PC. This problem started on November 16, 2017, and still persists to this day.

I cannot restore my Windows to a previous restore point before this issue, because all of my restore points created on the previous version of Windows had been erased for some reason. I also deleted the Windows.old folder after installing this new version of Windows, not thinking that I would need it.

My system specs are:
CPU- AMD A10 7850k
MOBO- Asus A88XM-Plus
GPU- EVGA GTX 1050 SC 2GB
PSU- Sparkle ATX-400PN-B204
RAM- 1x8GB Crucial DDR3-1600 CT102464BD160B

If you need any more info, just let me know. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that the PSU is the problem? This problem only started right after the Windows Update. And if I were to upgrade my PSU, could I upgrade it to a PSU that is 500W or around that range for a better futureproofed PSU (like when I need to upgrade my GPU and/or my CPU)?

Would that be safe to run on my current specs that I am running?? As for the random shut-down issues, I'll try to tweak with settings on my PC. If the tweaks fix it, I won't be needing a new power supply (yet) but they don't I will strongly take your PSU suggestion to heart.
