So its pretty simple yet so annoying i dont know what to do anymore...So my pc jsut keeps restarting every god damn time i play a video game no matter what is it..I dont know if its the PSU or the GPU i just dont know what the hell can i do for it to fix it i dont even know what the ACTUAL problem is....Please guys i really want to play some games and this is the worst thing a gamer can experience..Temps are ok i changes the termal paste everywhere and i monitor it constantly but it keeps doing it..Recently i brought it to a pc repair shop and the told me the fixed it by doing some tweaks in windows settings...I got it to play without restarting for about 4 hours then it did again...I was playing rainbow six siege it didnt restart then i closed the game opened up Shogun total war 2 and it restarted!! Since then it keeps doing it over and over again..I first encoutered this problem in november...So please just do what you can

Solution
From afar, it appears to be a PSU issue. Normally, the 650W unit would be marginally sufficient for that system. But it may be failing.

Btw, you can't be running DDR4 memory with the FX-8320.
