MAY HAVE POTENTIALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM:
I decided to closely monitor temperatures in multiple scenarios while in game and they all resulted in normal temps and usage percentages EXCEPT when I opened nvidia geforce experience with shadowplay running in the background. CPU % went from 25% to 100% I quickly turned it off because I'm pretty sure it would restart again.

My PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bcztpG
My computer restarts 1 to 4 times in a row when playing games. It only started happening recently. It first happened when I was playing Sims 4 about a month ago, then today when I was playing Battlefield 1, and today when I was playing Rocket League. I turned it back on and launched BF1 again to check my cpu % and temp: it was at 100% and around 69 degrees Celsius and my GPU looked fine. I just use msi afterburner to monitor RL temps and it looks completely fine:
GPU ~60c ~60%
cpu ~44c ~24%
ram ~4100MB
However.. It was off for a while (so it was cool now..) and then I turned it on, and while it was just idling, it randomly shut off, tried to turn on for a second and immediately shut off. ???? What?!
I have no idea what that means.. is there a power issue?
Why did this start happening out of nowhere?
Only one thing has changed recently is that I got a PS4 and had to start using an HDMI splitter for my monitor (one to pc, one to ps4). I doubt that that is the issue, but I thought I should mention it just in case...
Also, it doesn't happen EVERY time I play.. it hasn't happened for a good 3 weeks or so. It hadn't happened the whole day while I was playing Sims 4 or Rocket League, UNTIL I cleaned my pc about an hour ago (with a datavac) and it started happening again. I thought maybe some cables were loose, but no.. I made sure they were all tight, turned it back on, went into rocket league, and it crashed again.
Sometimes, it will turn off for a few seconds, then it will try to turn on, but fail immedietly and shut off, then same thing a few times and then it turns on successfully.
I am SO confused.
