Hello all, as the title says my PC is randomly rebooting while playing games with no BSOD or error messages. The is something new that started a few months ago (My PC is almost 3 years old). The first time it happened I thought it was just a glitch in one game, but then it started happening with other games as well. It only happens with games, otherwise everything else is stable. Sometimes I can play for a long time without any problems, other times it happens one after the other. Here are my specs:
O/S: Windows 10 64-bit
PSU: CORSAIR CX-M series CX750M 750W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 6MB Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662I56500
MB: MSI Z170-A PRO LGA 1151 Intel Z170 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
GFX: MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G
MEM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)
Here are the things I've tried:
-I've monitored the CPU and GPU temp and they were well within range when it happens.
-I've dusted off the insides, and didn't see any bulging capacitors.
-I've put the PSU on it's own power cord, no luck.
-I've installed older & newer graphic drivers.
-I looked at the event log and didn't see anything of interest. There was a critical kernel-power error but all it said was there was an unexpected loss of power, which didn't tell me anything I didn't know.
-The BIOS is updated as well as other drivers.
-I've reseated the GFX card, memory, and power cords.
-I had done a clean install about 8 months ago, so it hasn't been that long.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
