PC reboots, CPU, GPU or PSU?

Hi there. I have the following configuration:

- i7 2600 (not oc'ed)
- MSI H61 MU E35 B3 motherboard
- 2x 4GB memory
- Asus GTX660
- Recom plus 600e PSU
- W7 64B

The problem is: when I play a Battlefield 4 map, my system reboots on various moments. Sometimes immidately after joining the map, sometimes after 5 minutes or so.
This was also the case in BF3, but very rare.

I checked with Speedfan and HWMonitor: CPU not above 70 (Celsius) and GPU not above 35.
Furthermore, I installed various nvidia drivers. Only the last one (331.68) is running smoothly on BF4. MB drivers are all up to date, Wupdate runs on regulare base.

I suspect the PSU, but on the other side: 600W must be enough? Or isn't it?
What else could be the problem?
 
**EDIT**: I read that the Recom PSU delivers 22A to the 12V rail. Seems a bit low to me, an 650W Antec delivers 38A, which is a big difference??
Could this be the issue?
 
Your PSU could certainly be an issue since it is not a very reliable model even though 600W is enough. However, it could also be due to the game itself. I have been hearing about several people having crashing issues with it.
 

Cradhing, yes, but no reboots?
