[SOLVED] My computer is randomly restarting when given heavy loads.

I bought my computer (built it) in November last year and it has not had many issues but recently it reboots with no warning at times when it is given heavy loads. One example is when I go into a loading screen in a game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Looking around it seems that this is a sign of a faulty PSU. Is there anything else that might be the cause? When I actually play the game I have no problems whatsoever, and temperatures on gpu and cpu never exceed 60-65C. My specs are:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Msi B450 Gaming Plus Max
Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC
2X8 3200Mhz CL18 16GB kit
CX750M Corsair PSU

Make sure automatically restart is unchecked:

I have now turned it off, and it seemed to have fixed my problem with the loading screen. Does this pose any threat for my PC though? I thought the computer would reboot itself to save itself from danger. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, unchecking the automatically restart box shouldn't prevent crashes. If the problem is actually PSU related, the PC will continue to reboot. The problem is, when that box is checked, a reboot replaces a BSOD. That leads most people into thinking that they have a problem with their PSU when they don't.

Alright, I played a little more today and the same issue occured, only somewhere else in the game. An instant reboot, no BSOD.

Double check all of your power connections. Unplug and replug EVERYTHING.
