Question pc restarting over heavy load?

[nxrd]

everytime i load into a game like csgo, my pc restarts without warning. I have a feeling it could be because of my cpu but online it said it could by my PSU

Specs:
AMD Rx 580 8 gb
Intel Core i5-4590 3.3 ghz
16 gb ram
Thermaltake TR2 500W

It always restarts im pretty sure on a heavyload

How old is your psu?

500w TR2+rx580= you're going to have a bad time. Those units are trash. Atleast it's giving warning signs as they have been known to fry systems. I have personally seen the aftermath of catastrophic TR2 failures twice in the past.

Replace it immediately before it kills something.

I would stop using your PSU and computer until you can get good working PSU because i had two PSU blew up before and took out my ram slots. By looking at the PSU it looks cheap and cheap PSU that blows up can make things more expensive!
