I am not sure if my CPU or GPU is faulty. Its been 4 months since i assembled this PC. I have finished playing Games like GTA v without issue. But now since few days PC just restarts as soon as GTA loads and even after GPU test start in NovaBench. Note: it do not restarts until GPU benchmark CPU and disk benchmark runs just fine.


Config:
CPU:Ryzen 1600
Ram:16gb DDR4 2666mhz
GPU: Zotac 1050ti 4GB OC
PSU: Corsair VS 450
MB: Asus Prime B350 Plus

Please can you help me pin point this issue so that i can take that part to service center for replacement.

PSU

my money is on the PSU. the VS is the entry level budget PSU by corsair. when the GPU needs power it reboots right?


My canned random reboot Rant
Random reboots are usually caused by the PSU, the RAM or software AND in that order of likely-hood.
PSU - If you can borrow/swap a PSU for testing. sibling/friend you can swap out the PSU and each system will be testing the other.
RAM - run the system with one stick of RAM see if stability returns if not Test all the RAM with memtest 86 for three passes or overnight. if you get no 0 errors after more than three passes the ram is good. with the random reboots I would suggest running this test after the PSU swap or after the PSU has been cleared.
Software - Drivers or other issues can cause reboots. Boot to a linux distro on a USB drive. mint linux will boot to memtest86. you can run the OS from the USB and await reboot.
end canned rant

Yes it does. But i have played GTA V with this config and never encountered this issue once. Also i have ran same benchmark test numerous times before without this issue.
Actually i have ran my Pc 2 days with Nice hash and after that this issue is encountered.

Will you still bet your money on PSU ?
