Hello, I'm having a problem with my PC restarting when playing games.

I play a lot of League of Legends and it's usually fine with this, but if i play Counter Strike, Quake Champions or sometimes PUBG my PC will restart randomly, sometimes after 20 minutes or sometimes straight away. Yesterday as soon as i joined a game of Counter Strike it restarted, and when i joined back, it restarted again, and for a third time after that, so 3 times in total. I've downloaded some temperature tracking software and the GPU or CPU don't get too hot (usually never higher than 50 degrees. The only thing i can think of is the PSU, but i dont know enough about computers to make any educated decision about what on earth i causing it.

So anyway, here are the specs and i hope someone might be able to help:

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A: ATX
CPU: Intel i5-4690
RAM: 8GB Kingsotn Hyper-X DDR3
PSU: Corsair 450w VS Series VS-450
GPU: ASUS EX-GTX1050TI-O4G OC Edition GF GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB GDDR5

I also have an external soundcard connected if that makes any difference. It's connected through a usb cable and its a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface.

Any advice on how to fix the issue I'm having would be greatly appreciated

Kind Regards.

Your PSU is letting go, it's a basic grade OEM class PSU not really meant for gaming platforms. upgrade to a CX450M.

Also check your temps -n/m you did, you're fine.
