Hello, I built this pc around 8 to 9 months back but it was working extremely fine back then till recently it automatically restarts when i was playing my game (hard restart without any BSoD or warning and error message). I was running Dota 2 at Best looking graphics (Ultra) or CS:GO at MAX graphics and all of a sudden it will shut down randomly.

My build:
GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2
Intel Core i5-6420P 2.80GHz
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti GIGABYTE
1TB HDD
Cosair 450W

will appreciate the help A LOT. thank you.

Well mostly in this case of restarting, it is mainly a faulty psu, when the 12v rail isnt providing enough power. I suggest you run you system on another psu and check if there are any restarting issues. Maybe an old one you have...
