Hello Everyone.
So i have this new build like 2-3 months ago. The thing is that i get strange restarts with no errors when playing games like Witcher 3 for example.The thing is the restarts started like few days ago.Before the restarts happened i played witcher 3 (Same max Settings.) STRAIGHT 15+ Hours and no such a thing happened until now.Now i can't play till 20 minute mark and it is restarting on it's own.
So my Question is: Does these restarts are caused by Bad/Faulty PSU? Cause if it is it's the second time i got Bad/Faulty PSU... :( (But if it's PSU why i didn't i got a restart then i played the 15+Hours)

Here's my SPECS, if you need more information, ask it and i will try to provide it.
GPU:MSI GTX 1070 Armor 8GB OC
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz
1TB HDD
Motherboard:MSI B350M Gaming Pro
PSU:EVGA 500W 80+
Windows 10 64-Bit

Thanks For Help. :)

That PSU is not the best quality so my recommendation would be to replace it with a higher quality unit. They just can't take the draw forever and start to break down, never was a good choice for your system or a gaming machine.

For EVGA that would be the G2 or G3 550W.

Seasonic would be G-550W or Focus+ 550W.

I think the CPU temps are fine, i was monitoring them while In-Game with MSI Afterburner it never was higher than 55°C
The GPU max was at 76°C when in certain areas.

It's a low end unit being used in a gaming machine so yes.

They are not built for that type of use.

Won't make any difference.

And you could fry your GPU or other parts if you keep using it.

When those low end units go they normally take something with them.

So this Seasonic Focus+ 550W. Does it really will do his work on my System? Im asking this because i really don't want to FAIL 3rd time on the same hardware :D
And by the way witch is better Seasonic Focus Plus 550W Platinium OR Seasonic Focus Plus 550W Gold?

The Gold is fine, both are the same quality.
