PC shutdown issues

[kaiw98]

I've built this pc lets say 8 months ago and has been fine since I would say 2 months ago, it has started to just power off and back on again after lets say around 2 seconds and it only really does this when im gaming, so instantly I thought it was getting too hot. But the games it does this situation on only get my cpu and gpu up to the 40C mark, which I don't understand as this wouldn't make my computer shutdown from overheating issues. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

sounds like a cheap PSU or low wattage one any PC spec would help.

See thats the thing now it happens sometimes just after I have turned it on and can't even do anything I reset the cmos and have done a repair with my windows disk, I have done a system restore and nothing is working

I've also downloaded the latest bios update but it says it didn't have a bootable file in the USB.

see the thing is with the modern day USB sticks is that they tend to be NTFS formatted when you buy them because of size its probably looking for a FAT32 formatted USB if you go and buy a small 4gb or 8gb or smaller USB you should be good a small cheap one.
