Solution
Random reboots or shutdowns are mostly caused by 2 issues:
  1. CPU/GPU overheats and to prevent any damage, system shuts down.
  2. PSU fails to deliver enough power to the GPU or fails to keep smooth enough voltage for PC's operation.
First check your CPU/GPU temps, both at idle and under load. If temps are within reason then it's safe to assume that it's the PSU who is acting up. In this case, replace your PSU with good quality unit. Anything from Seasonic in 500W range will do fine, e.g: Focus 550, Focus+ 550, PRIME Snowsilent 550 or PRIME Ultra 550 Platinum

Warranty wise:
Focus: 7 years
Focus+: 10 years
PRIME: 12 years (includes all PRIME...
230volt generic psu
Whilst this could be a few things, I would put all my bets on this.
Firstly it's incredibly low power, the 1050Ti is a power efficient card, but 230W is still pushing it.
Secondly it's generic and unbranded, which are renowned for causing these kind of problems.

Regardless, I'd want to replace the PSU anyway before it takes any other components with it.

All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic. Full specs with pics in my sig.

Actually, no. OP says that he has generic PSU operating at 230V (volts), not the 230W (watts). OP never says how many watts his PSU can deliver.
E.g my PRIME 650 (80+ Titanium) PSU is also 230V unit since i live in Europe and we have 220V-240V electric grid in use.
