Computer randomly restarts after a few minutes on games.

Everytime I load up a game like fortnite/dayz/csgo after a few minutes or hours of playing the game (each time varys) the computer just instantly turns off to a black screen and restarts its self. I do currently have it plugged into a surge protector along with my monitor.

I have checked my temps and they are all fine so now im curious on what to do looking forward.
 
Best way to test is to borrow a friends PSU and see if you still get the problem. Just make sure the PSU you borrow has enough power to run your system.

Testing a PSU yourself is far from easy.
Sure you can use a volt meter to see if the volts are within spec, or you can use a program like HWmonitor (not as good as a volt meter ofc.)

To go deeper you need an oscilloscope so that the ripple on each rail can be determined.

Or you can sell your house and buy a test system for PSU`s :D

So the most easy way to test is to just borrow a PSU from a friend.
