Whenever I play a graphically demanding game such as GTA 5 and Resident Evil 2 my PC just turns off. When I play games such as League of Legends, and Rainbow Six Siege my PC is fine. When is shuts down the lights on my CPU fan, Case fans, and my GPU turn off, however, the lights on my RAM and my Motherboard remain on. If I want to turn my PC back on I have to turn of my PSU, then turn it back on.

My Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (No Overclocks)
Gigabyte x470 Gaming Pro
16gb Corsair 3200mHz Ram
EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 SC (No Overclocks)
EVGA 600 watt bronze PSU
 
Solution
Sounds like a PSU issue. Higher power loads seem to trip the PSU. Is the PSU still under warranty? Do you have another one you can test?
