    Computer Randomly Restarting

    If its only while gaming I would suspects something is overheating, I recommend to use something like MSI afterburner to keep an aye on CPU & GPU temp while gaming.

    i7 4790k overheating

    I would remove and reinstall the cooler and check if its well installed, if you have another cooler I would try it out to see if the problem comes from the cooler itself or the processor, another possibility is making sure you have enough air flow in your case.

    What does the + mean in AM3+ or AM2+ (etc.)?

FX-6350 vs I3-4170...
