Hi,
I'm having a problem with my computer and hoping someone here could help me. Basically when I am playing certain games, particularly LoL and FF14, my computer will instantly cut off and then restart itself. I am not sure why it is these games particularly but more graphically intense games I have played do not cause my PC to shut off. It's happening every 20-30 minutes now and I need a solution. After googling the problem the most common suggestion is an issue with the PSU. I have cleaned the PC with a can of compressed air and made sure all the fans are dust free. I checked my PSU and it is 550W which is more than sufficient for a GTX 1080 from the recommendations I googled online. I'm not sure what else to do, I can't really afford to buy a new PSU unless I can be sure that's the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will paste my specs below, apologies if I have missed anything, i'm not tech savvy at all.
