I have been struggling with this problem for months...
I bought a new PC with the following specs:
CPU: i7-6700
RAM: DDR4 16 GB 2400 MHz (2x8)
GPU: GTX 1080 MSI ARMOR
PSU: ZALMAN 1250 Watt 80 Platinum
MB: Gigabyte B150 HD3
BenQ GSYNC 24" monitor
The PC worked fine for some time then it started restarting at random. I noticed there's consistent rebooting when I quit a game and then open a browser, but it also reboots at other times (while gaming, while browsing... etc). One reboot sometimes results in a cycle where the PC doesn't get past the Windows loading screen and reboots again. Reboots also are not instantaneous, but the PC lights go out for a second or so and then it boots up again. This problem doesn't happen when I remove the GPU and use the integrated graphics.
I tried many solutions without success. I sent the PSU to be checked by warranty and they reported no issues, I tried switching G-Sync off, reducing refresh rate, wiping and reinstalling graphics driver, I even changed the electrical connections in my room! I made sure that all temperatures are within safe range using open hardware monitor.
I would appreciate any insight into this problem as I have been struggling with it for so long without success...
