My system reboots while i game... Pls help

[Dharshak]

My specs are:
GigaByte B85 D3H mobo
intel core i3 4130
gtx 660
8gb ram
corsair vs450

My PC rebooted while playing games like NFS Rivals, Rise of the tomb raider etc
I first suspected it to be a problematic windows 10 x64 os... So i reverted to Windows 7 x64 SP1
and still the problem continues. So guys please tell me how can i find the source of the problem...

You should start by downloading HWmonitor and checking your temps. Besides that, if its not a thermal issue, I'm willing to bet its your PSU (Power Supply).

the corsair VS are not good, so that is a major red flag

you need 500w or better good quality unit




do you have another power supply you can test with?

I just need to know what is the source of my problem.... i have warranty for both my psu and cpu.... so if u can point out any one ill get it replaced

I would get the PSU replaced first.
