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 got a restart then i played the 15+Hours)

Another strange thing it will sound really stupid but i found this... So i opened my PC Case and the front panel header Connectors (The ones with power switch and reset switch etc..) was not plugged in properly how they should be. The power switch was plugged in the Reset Switch thing and HDD led's was the same :D . I want to ask could this be the culprit too of the Restarts? I plugged them now how they should be and played for 2 hours, no restarts happened. What do you think?

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. :)
