PC restart when playing games

[ahbard]

Recently, my pc will restart when playing games...normal use like surfing net is fine. Checked cpu,gfx temps..seems fine. Is it the PSU failing? Not enough juice when playing game.?

1
-try using test like prime95,memtest,futuremark.
-see if the temp is too high during load.
-see if any tests fail.

2
-restart without BSOD?
-disable auto restart under system in control panel.

3
-go event viewer and see for any errors/critical logs.
-pay close attention to the time and date.
-see wheres the source coming from.
-google the event code (event 41, event 1001 etc)

Used to have a similar situation, PC restarting when playing games. No BSOD or any error code, just as if someone turned off the power switch. I took out and insert back the 24 pin mobo connector and it kind of solved it.
