Alright so I've made multiple posts about this and been trying to figure something out for a long time now. Basically under some heavy load games after an x amount of time my PC will reboot itself, just like it lost power for a split second. I'm going to list what I've done and my clues.
First time it happened it was on Path of Exile after 3 hours of gameplay. After that I played another 3 hours and it did it again, so I sent my PSU back to be changed with warranty as I was almost sure it was that. After a week of testing the technician called me and said he was not able to reproduce the problem even under stress. That went on for 3 days of calls over and over again.
I got my PSU back and I reset and ran my PC fine for 2 weeks playing League, Overwatch and World of Warcraft. My max temps on WoW and OW are 60 on CPU and 80 on GPU, so I really don't think its a temps issue. I can play those games (+ i tried minecraft too) fine, even at those temps and my PC will not turn off. However, I downloaded ArmA 3 and went on it. First time it was fine, I played for about 10 minutes got bored and went off. Second time, however, I was in the loading screen and my PC rebooted 2 minutes in. The only thing I remarkably remember is watching my RAM go to 11.5 GB used.
The ArmA 3 incident is the only time my PC has turned off after getting my PSU back. I ran Prime 95 torture test for an hour and I got no errors back. I also ran the Windows RAM test and it also came back with no errors. When I built my PC I had 2 sticks of ram (4 + 4) and I added two more a couple of months ago, but the problem only started occurring a month ago. I am really confused and don't know what else to try. I am not able to just test out new parts as I don't have the money to do so.
