[SOLVED] Newly self-built PC restarts on startup of games

[mikkelsdk]

Dear Tom's Hardware

My newly self-built PC restarts, when i e.g. boot graphic intensive games such as Overwatch. It can also restart when i have played diablo 3 for a while or even when i have edited photos in darktable.

The restart doesn't have any BSOD or error message. Simple shut off and turn on.

Hope you can help me trace down the problem! and a solution!

My specs are:

CPU	Intel Core i5-9600K
GPU	MSI RTX 2060 Ventus OC 6G
Motherboard	MSI MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B18) (Recently updated BIOS)
RAM	Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 C16 BK DC - 16 GB
PSU	Corsair CX750M
CPU cooler	Corsair H100x
SSD	Corsair Force Series MP510 480GB M.2 SSD
Monitor	GIGABYTE 27'' AORUS AD27QD 1ms

Just to be sure, which version are you for BIOS? Which version of the OS are you on as well? Try and source a donor PSU to see if the unit you have might be faulty. On another note, did you manually install all the driver for your platform?

My BIOS version is 1.71 (which is downloaded from https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/MAG-Z390-TOMAHAWK)

I'm using Windows 10 home 64-bit, build 18362.

Drivers were manually installed, besides my graphic driver which was installed using nvidia geforce experience.

I'll try to see what i can do with a donor PSU.

Solution:
I received two faulty PSU's in a row (both Corsair CX750M) from the shop, which caused the problem. I've borrowed my friends extra PSU (RM550) untill i have figured out which new PSU to get.
