    Computer restarting whilst gaming


    Hey thanks for reading. I have an issue that isn't consistent but my computer will randomly restart itself when I'm gaming. It doesn't matter what graphics I play on it will randomly happen. Usually within a few seconds of playing. Happens on apex legends. Rainbow six siege. Agenof empires but doesn't persist on roblox. I've tried fully reinstalling my graphic card drivers and it still persists. I've also changed power settings and other things but had no luck.

    :)

    Coolermaster make decent enough cases and fans, not known for high end PSU's. Their not completely terrible though.

    But that 500W PSU just might not have enough in it for that build.

    I agree with Farscape247 here on the problem probably being the Power supply.

    i'd say the psu looks to be the bare min for that build, also what you are experiencing sounds like it could be a psu issue, so when the gpu starts drawing more power the psu might be flaking out which causes a shutdown.

    check event viewer - system to see if you have any red warning showing.
