Since you don't know what causing the problem, go sls and pay $30.
for checkup and replacement.

It's what happened to my old PC few years back, took me damn long to figure out.

It's random restart, but usually in the middle of my game session.

I tested graphic card, memory, remove OC settings etc..

In the end, it's my freaking 7 years old PSU, replaced with new PSU and everything was fine again.

Had the same problem too, 2years ago Dec 2018, played some games suddenly auto restart... turns out it was my PSU and GPU (980 Ti) failing on me after several stress testing with MSI Kombustor

Had this issue, RMA the PSU and rams. Turned out to be GPU. GPU is fine until it randomly stop spinning for the fans. Heat builds up and overload. GPU shutdown. Occur frequently, especially when gaming.

This symptom is not uncommon. As long as some part in the PC is faulty, it may result in this random reboot. Experienced this a few times and it happened once because CPU is faulty. Faulty or incompatible RAM may also cause this symptom. I’ve not encountered this symptom due to a faulty PSU, but I know it’s possible.

Need to isolate the problem as u all know. It is all possibilities, from cpu to gpu, ram, psu, even mobo etc. If no spare parts, easiest is to pay a bit money as someone suggested to troubleshoot.

I had a restart problem before. Fix is as easy as taking out the ram and using a rubber to clean the surface.
