I am having issues what appears to be with my PSU.
FX-6300 at stock speed at 3,5Ghz and the voltages keep jumping up above 1.4V IDLE and PC keeps restarting after a few minutes of gaming (Rimworld, LoL, and Battalion 1944)
Temperatures are good considering everything is in between 30-40°C the cpu even gets as low as 20°C idle, in gaming +10-15°C, but thats still acceptable.

CPU: FX-6300
CPU cooler: Arctic Freezer 13
MB: GA 78LMT USB3 rev. 5
GPU: Sapphire R9 270 stock speed, with an Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo III
Ram: 16GB Kingston HyperX at 1333mhz
PSU: Generic 500W
HDD: WD 500GB
SSD: Kingston V300 60GB
OS: Win 10 64bit

Thanks in andvance.

Thing is its very very hard to measure psu voltages properly, you essentially need extra hardware.

Youre overclocked ?? Looking at that 1st core hitting 4000mhz+.

1.4v is too high for that board to run stable .

Your 12v reading (& as I said its impossible to tell if its 100% accurate) is just ridicolously umstable.

That psu ?? Yeah replacing that would be my very fist step , thats a sub 400w psu in reality & likely extremely low quality.

It's not overclocked. Never tried because of the PSU. Probably the turbo is that boost the clock speed, now that i think i should disable turbo, that would solve the issue, temporarily at least.
 
a generic 500W that only delivers 350W on the 12V rail, that's more like a 375-400W PSU, and no-one would suggest running that on a 400W PSU. That's a huge red flag to me. Sort the PSU out before doing anything else, it might not solve your problem, but it'll solve a future problem.

I see that you removed the sticker than said "do not remove" :)
