Last 2 hours my pc rebooted 3 times while i was playing csgo and my temps are fine and the reason is not overheating, and neither i have performance issues, i have changed psu 6 months ago, it just started happening suddently and i dont know what is the reason. These are my current specs
I7 870 base clock
msi gtx 560 1gb
8gb ram 4x2 ddr 3
LC 6550 V2.3 550w
SSD Patriot Burst Elite 120gb
250GB hdd
 
How old is that PSU in your build? The usual suspects with a system rebooting when taxed is either:
1| A thermal issue and it rebooted to protect your components
or
2| The PSU is incapable of delivering power to the entire system

The other thing is that the PSU isn't exactly of a reliable build quality. Make and model of your motherboard? You posted this thread in the Windows 10 section, to which I moved it to the Systems section, which also leads me to ask, what version(not edition) of Windows 10 are you working with?

Temperatures are around 70-75 on cpu and 60-70 on gpu and i got the psu used from a repair shop 6 months ago and it had no issues when i started furmark, this is the motherboard model P7H55-M PRO, i saw that my windows update page looked like this when i tried to update it https://prnt.sc/25zkzqp and these are windows specifications https://prnt.sc/25zlgk5

It just happened while i was on youtube... I wasnt even playing any games and it happened again, my picture froze for 10 seconds i was able to hear and talk to friends on discord while my pc wasnt responding to any keyboard or mouse clicks and than it just restarted EDIT: I have noticed some performance issues also my tabs are loading slower and loading times are longer

2 days ago my pc started randomly rebooting and it was either in games or on youtube.It stopped and there were no issues at all yesterday and this morning its happening all the time and i cant even write this so im doing it on my phone, it happened first time when i entered a game and after that it kept happening when i would opet something but when i started furmark and it ran around 30 secs nothing happened and it was all normal. Temperatures are not the problem and i have checked them. What is the cause of this it just started happening 2 days after i cleaned pc and i have removed gpu and cpu cooler to clean them and everything worked fine even after that.
