So ive had a bit of trouble with my pc lately, under load it seems to restart, and some days this happens quite frequently, so i looked into my MSI Afterburner, and i noticed that my PSU was using 34% in idle. So i reckon that the increased PSU usage is the culprit for the computer restarting. im not overclocking either. So is there a way I could lower my PSU usage?

My specs:
i5 4460
corsair vs550
gtx 960
8gb DDR3

kind regards.

It'd be great if you could show me because I've not seen that before.

Take a screenshot and upload it on https://imgur.com/ and share it here.

Ive been having the same issue. Any advice or things youve done to fix it? i also have a feeling that it might not be the psu but the gpu and how much usage that has, with a game like ark that could be an issue. But idk im also a noob..
