Hey guys, so for some reason my PC keeps turning itself off, then restarts without any explanation. It's only happened 3 or so times (only when playing games, i.e Farcry 3 and BF4), but all fairly recently. I noticed it happens after playing for a while/or when my computer temperature is higher than normal (around 42 degrees - I thought this wasn't even that hot for PCs?).
My specs are:
AMD FX-4100 (OC'd 15%)
Nvidia GTX 760 Direct CU II OC'd
16gb Ram
Gigabyte Motherboard
600W PSU
Is it simply my CPU getting too hot and shutting down? I noticed my computer has been a lot hotter since replacing my old GPU with the GTX 760. Also it's being bottlenecked by my CPU which is at a constant 90 - 100% during Battlefield 4 which maybe is an issue?
Also maybe it's my PSU? It's a really cheap 600W model (Sumvision), but hadn't had any problems before I replaced my GPU.
Thanks for any help!
