Hi All,
My PC restarts whenever I start running GPU Stress Test using Furmark.
Is it a GPU Problem or PSU Problem ?
PC Config:
CPU: i3-4130 @3.40GHz 4th Gen
GPU: MSI GTX 1050 Gaming X 2G
PSU: Some Local Brand 600W PSU
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB


Also, My system is cleaned properly, except the PSU.
CPU Temperature : 51°C
GPU Temperature > 60°C
Total number of fans in PC: 8

Please help me out.

So for starters, it's not even 600w as you said but 500w "labeled". In reality it's 288W in the 12V rail where all the important hardware take their power of. That means that it's very low wattage (enough for the 1050 though). The quality of that PSU is trash. You should really consider buying anything that is tier 2 or above from this:

I would recommend Seasonic as they make exceptionally good PSUs.
Ok, just the "Some Local Brand 600W PSU" is shady as hell. Open your case and take a look. We need info if you want an answer.

Just by describing it seems like power related but unless you provide the make and model of PSU and/or the Amps in the 12V rail, we can not be sure.
