well, it started occurring after i played games for more than 3-4 hours (The Evil Within).
It constantly restarts after a few hours of gaming.
I brought my whole PC to the shop where I bought it from to take a look.
The person told me is GPU overheat issue which isn't normal, so they sent the GPU to RMA for a month.
After I got it back, I tested it out with Heaven benchmark 4.0 and CPUIDHWMonitor. Everything was fine so I started playing a game (Diablo 3) as a start off to test my new and improved GPU. Not long after I play, with runs on 60fps, my desktop restarts itself again. Now at this point I thought it was my GPU overheating, so i run the test again with heaven benchmark, but at 70-88 celcius running for 20mins+ the comp doenst restart itself.
So i switch back to my old GPU and played Diablo 3 and with no issues or comp restarting.
Now I dont know whether this time it is my GPU issue or not but from the looks of it, it seems like my GPU is the issue. I am really frustrated as I dont know what's wrong with my desktop, and I have spent a lot for this new desktop. I really hope someone can help me or have faced this issue before and can give any advice.
