Computer Restarting Randomly?

[jacob45574]

i recently built a computer (desktop) and sometimes it would just shut off and then it would come on again and say there was a power surge.

Components:
i7-3770 cpu
Asus P8Z77-V LK mobo
Corsair 750cx psu
Corsair Vengance 16gb ram
WD Green 1TB hard drive
NVIDIA GTX GEFORCE 780Ti GPU
TP-LINK 450 WN-D8000 wireless card

It is mostly whenever i am playing Far Cry 3 and am fighting or standing on a mountain looking over a vast landscape when i have the very short reboots. It gets very anoying and i am frustrated with it.i am using a surge protector, but i might get a new one if i cant get the problem to stop. I would appreciate help from anyone. literally anyone.

It could be a problem with your powersupply, but there is still a slight chance that you really are getting power surges... have you tried plugging it into a different wall socket? Or at another house?

I did try plugging it directly into a wall socket and it worked fine for about and hour and then it happened again. I plugged it into my surge protector and then it worked well but it happened again. So i might be getting surges and im not sure. I am thinking about getting one of these -

Im not sure if this will help, but if you have expirience with one of these please tell me if it helped. For the past 4 days when i played Far Cry 3 and The walking dead i didnt have these problems, i think it might be my graphics card overheating or to much stress is being put on it, so i got another fan to help pull hot air from the top of the case. If you have an idea of how to fix this problem, please post and answer.

Check the temperatures of both your GPU and CPU. Use something like HWMonitor to detect the temperatures while gaming. Does only Far Cry 3 exhibit the problem? Or does all the apps that cause heavy load do this?
