I got a gtx 1080 and now that I've put it in over a few hours of testing games and playing stuff it has shut down and restart randomly with no warning, not sure whats going on from what I searched it could be the psu.

specs:
cpu: i5 4670k
gpu: MSI GeForce GTX 1080
psu: ultra 4x 850 watts
mobo: gigabyte z87x-ud3h

Is it the power supply and any suggestions on if that is the issue and if it is what would be good to buy to replace it, also I'm just using the stock fan for the cpu if that is important.

I had a similar problem.I found out that my psu dropped my 3.3 v to 2.7 and restart pc.Get a proggy like aida64 to monitor your voltage(depends on when it restarts)Mine usually only restarted when running games.
