Random reboots or shutdowns are mostly caused by 2 issues:
1. CPU/GPU overheats and to prevent any damage, system shuts down.
2. PSU fails to deliver enough power to the GPU or fails to keep smooth enough voltage for PC's operation.

First check your temps, both idle and under load. If temps are within reason then it's the PSU. Also, Corsair CX series PSUs, at best, are mediocre quality units, where anything from Seasonic would be much better quality wise than Corsair CX series.
