PC keeps resetting during gaming

[Arnhem43]

Hi all,

My PC keeps rebooting because the mobo anti-surge protection kicks in (ie says it detected a power surge from the PSU). It only happens when I'm gaming, I can run the PC for 12 hours surfing/watching videos/word processing with no issues but once I jump into a game the PC will reboot anytime from 10-15 mins into a game.

Here's my setup, it's a 4 year old machine, pure vanilla stuff, never been overclocked.
Asus Vanguard B85 with an i5-4570
GTX770
FSP Aurum PT-650M 650W PSU
Other stuff onboard include 8GB RAM, SSD and HDD, Dell 24" monitor

Any idea what could be the issue? Mobo or PSU?

PSU likely. Make sure you get Tech dynamic to stress test the PSU in front of you before you take it home. I made extra trips because their RMA unit had problem also.
