Computer restarts after playing games

[SirBones]

As the title says.

I have this PC for around 2 years now and it started restarting around half a year ago.
All the thermal paste has been changed FYI.

SpeedFan during a game that makes it restart:

Specs:

PSU: Codegen power supply ATX PSU 600W
Motherboard: msi ms 7740
PCU: Intel i5-3350P @ 3.10GHz
RAM: 8gb

the temps are fine.......so change the PSU i strongly think its the PSu which in load is giving up or failing. one more thing are u getting BSOD or just frequent restarts?

Sometimes i get BSOD but usually restarts. I found that one of my coolers doesn't have any cooper and is straight up metal, could that do any damage?

no really..........................do some tests first prime 95 for an hour for cpu furmark for 30 min for the gpu, memtest for ram and scan the hdd for bad sectors if every tests is fine then the psu could be the culprit.

The GPU was tested earlier and it is fine. CPU is ok too. I too suspected the PSU just because of the fact when near a restart i place my foot on top of it (I keep the case opened for ventilation) and it is super hot.

okk then if u have a spare psu check with it or borrow a psu form someone for checking then buy a new psu.
