PC reboots without BSOD during GTA V

[Matthew Calleja]

Almost a year ago I had built a PC with the specs below (all new parts)

Intel i5 4790k (stock speeds)
Motherboard : MSI Z97 Guard Pro
GPU : EVGA GTX 780
RAM : 8GB Corsair Vengeance (2x4gb)
PSU : Corsair RM650
Case : Fractal Define R4
Storage : 120gb Samsung evo SSD, WD 1TB

I do not have any issues during normal usage, or games such as fifa 15, football manager, dirt 3 etc...however, PC reboots after some time playing GTA V. No blue screen or errors are shown, and immediately restarts normally thereafter. I have kept an eye on temps, and they all seem normal. The GPU never goes up 70 degrees during high intensity gaming, and the CPU (stock speed with stock cooler) hovers between 72-78 degrees. These seem normal to me, definately will not cause the system to reboot. Additionally, this is only happening recently. I have been playing GTA for hours and hours in the past, never caused any problems, only these last couple of days.

I have also run furmark for quite some time without any issues. Finally, the PSU 12v reading from HWInfo is reading at 11.904V under load from FURMARK, which also seems to be normal.

Heat is not an issue, and I have read that the corsair RM series are of good quality. Could this be software related?

Any ideas or solutions guys? Would really appreciate it. Thanks

----UPDATE----
Ran Prime95 and FurMark together to get the system to work on max load...and ran fine no errors or reboots. It looks like the pc is only rebooting during GTA V. Have no idea why though, as it was working fine a couple of days ago

Just to update this....been trying some stress testing.

Ran furmark, no problems
Ran Realbench (up to 4gb) no problems
Prime 95 (no problems)
Ran Realbench (up to 8gb ram) caused restart after a minute
Memtest caused restart after 5 minutes.

Could this be a bad ram issue?

Hey look at the party that we have over here. I have the same issue too on a clean install of windows 10 and a clean install of the game. It just did it to me while I had an overclock on my cpu (4.5ghz on my 4690k). I am currently testing it with no overclock to see if that changes anything. The event viewer isn't saying anything, so that kind of sucks. The other issue is that I am running crossfired 7870's, and that is causing higher cpu usage, so the game doesn't run nearly as smooth without the overclock on. So if my current testing lasts over an hour without a crash, then I am going to consider it to be the overclock.

issue resolve by replacing a PSU,
Makes no sense but I guess GTA 5 pushed the video card that much further then any stress tests.
