Turbolink is a horrible unreputable no name power supply, you should definitely upgrade your power supply as soon as possible. Possible causes to your problem is either your power supply or RAM. Try resetting your bios in case some bios settings were changed. Have you also monitored your temperatures?

Look at this review: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/apevia-turbolink-atx-tl450w-bk-power-supply-review/9/
Your power supply is possibly displaying fake voltages and are not supplying enough power to your hardware. This is the cause of the random rebootings when you are playing games because during gaming, the voltage requirements go up. You should stop using your computer and buying a good power supply or you could damage your components.

Choose a decent 400-500W power supply from here from Tier 1 or Tier 2

After you get the power supply, stress test your CPU and look at the temperatures. It is possible that your problem is the CPU over heating, if that isn't the case, the next step would be to get a better set of RAM because pre-built computers usually come with cheap PSU, RAM and Motherboards.
