Question Computer reboots without BSOD during gaming - please help!

[mida33]

Computer restarts whenever I'm playing games. No BSOD. Just complete loss of power and then immediate reboot. On multiple occasions, drivers would be damage and files would become corrupted as a result. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

What I've tried:
- Memtest86
Received multiple errors on test 6 and test 9. I found it suspicious that all the errors (on a specific stick, which I removed later) were all associated with CPU #2. Have yet to replace CPU (hopefully don't have to).

- System doesn't appear to fail during 3D mark (though audio drivers have failed).

- System doesn't fail during Unigine Heaven 4.0.

- System no longer shows errors on ram during memtest86 (after removing the one that was showing up faulty).

- System doesn't fail during Intel Extreme Tuning tests.

- Clean install of Windows 10, all drivers were downloaded from windows update. Still didn't solve the problem.

- I've currently rma'd the GPU and am waiting for a reply. Hopefully will get a replacement.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

I don't know what memory you are using. Looks to be no-name generic memory. I would recommend using a matched pair in a kit from a reputable company.

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. I recommend listing memory by a part number or link to it if you have a question about memory.

Problem was resolved by replacing the PSU and the ram, both Corsair.

You should definitely try adding more ram aswell. 8gigs is very minmal. Windows 10 uses about 4gigs itself. Alot of more recent games use 6-12gigs. Highly recommend 16gig minimum nowadays.
