Question About A PSU

I'm having a HUGE issue with PSU's right now. I built my computer under a year ago, it's probably about 7 months old. The first PSU that I ordered (EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W) didn't work, so I sent it back and got another one (the one I've been using for the past 7 months). Now, I believe that one is crapping out on me. The reason why I think this is because I can use my computer normally, but when I start up a game and get in game my computer randomly shuts off and turns itself back on.

I paid a good $88-$95ish dollars for this PSU and I was just curious if all PSU's shit out this easily. Or perhaps the brand of PSU I have is just horrible? Possibly my issue isn't even my PSU.

Anyways, I'd really appreciate some feedback and some thoughts - or some help for that matter. If you take the time to even share your thoughts, thank you I really appreciate it.

seems your videocard has the issue
download https://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ and check your temp or remove the v.c. and use the built in videocard and see if it would still crush

Well, it's not because of overheating because I redid the thermal paste and everything.. And every time I google, "Why does my computer shut off when playing games", it'll redirect me to a post on here with someone saying, "Hmm.. Definitely the PSU." Therefore I can only assume as much.. Any idea of what else it could be?

I redid my thermal paste and everything, I can literally start my computer after 5 hours of inactivity and it'll still crash on a game.
 




From reading that it seems that your problem may NOT be your PSU.

Alrighty.. So if it's not that then what is it?
