PC randomly rebooting while gaming

[Wargox]

I just got a new gtx 1070 last week , everything was working fine , but yesterday my PC randomly rebooted itself after 1-2 h of playing Overwatch,it happened fourth time today. My temperature for GPU and CPU are under 60 celcius all the time , I have no idea what would be the problem. I checked reliability history and it said : windows was not properly shut down, and i clean installed my windows 10. This problem has happened only when playing Overwatch. Any help?

Specs:
Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.50GHz
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3
MSI Z97 GAMING 5
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (MSI)
250 gb KINGSTON SV300S37A240G (SSD)
1 tb Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 (SATA)
Corsair VS 550 W

sounds like a power issue at full load and high power usage that vs 550 may not be able to hold up to it and fails then window shuts down for safety ???

cant find much on it ?? my opinion is about the same from here , light home or office use at best ??

Corsair VS is one of the lowest quality PSU lines under the Corsair brand, so I would strongly suspect the PSU and recommend getting a higher quality PSU such as the ubiquitous 520-620W Seasonic S12-II or similar models if you are looking for something relatively inexpensive but still close to top-quality.

ya, that's about my feeling on it as well ???

Ok thanks ! yeah i was pretty sure it would the PSU , I got the pc in a budget and later started to upgrade parts so I got the CorsairVS , I will be upgrading it and probably update if it fixes it!

i'd try for a good solid 600w + a 550w may do it but I'd prefer a little more overhead .. personal I never go below a 750w for my primary rigs ..

the psu is the hart and life blood of your build and everything depends on it for full stable power at any load

Ok , hmm do you have any great suggestions what would be a good one? Im never good at finding parts that are the best for the price, thank you all for the quick help!

Massive power margins are overrated IMO: if you need a 700W PSU to achieve the reliability you want at 400W, then your 700W PSU is only truly designed for 400W, which would be a shame (and fraud) if the manufacturer claimed 700W continuous.

you see on them lesser units on the 12v rating underpowered like a 550w has just 33a when it should be 45/46 amps

as you see it really just a 500w [maybe a 450 in disguise ]

this 550w is /claims ''true'' 45.8 amps at the 12v+ 550w/12v=45.8amps or any ''single'' rail unit [ ???w/12v =true amps should be on the 12v+rail on the rail

''if you need a 700W PSU to achieve the reliability you want at 400W, then your 700W PSU is only truly designed for 400W, which would be a shame '

that don't add up or make any sense to me on what your getting at ??? if I need 56 amps i'll get a 72 amp psu and not any fly by night unit

[nevermind I get it ] -. i'll have x amount of amp overhead + any needed for any future upgrades that may require the more amps + any overhead . not finding I fell short in any way and =fail and having issues and now looking to buy another unit when I just buy smart once

you see here at toms too many times a 550w is all you need when it may not or guys spend 300$ on a cpu 200$ on a board 500$ on a vid -card and then 58.95 [if that much] on a under rated budget low powered PSU ???? LOL..... then expect it all to work properly at full gaming loads ???
