Alright I bought a custom PC and I just got my PC a day or 2 ago and When I play games with high fps it will just reset. 

Specs:

GTX 970 windforce OC
i5 4690 3.3ghz
8Gb of 1866 DDR3 Ram
Gigabyte Z97M-D3H motherboard
1TB HDD
120GB SSD
750w PSU
Windows 8.1

I'm not sure what is happening when I play CSGO I get 300fps and I will get rebooted but when i play Arma 3 at 60fps I'm fine

If I put V-sync on it won't crash and reset but what would cause it to crash 

P.S I was playing in Windowed mode

Event ID=41

Source= Kernel-power

Log=System

It's still doing it I think it maybe software related because my computer was stressed tested overnight when getting built

What way is the fan pointing in your Case, if its pointing down make sure there is plenty of breathing room, if not then point the fan up, i had this when i moved my PC from on my desk to my floor (which is carpet) the feet of the PC sunk into the carpet and the fan couldn't draw air so the power supply was overheating :)

It's not the best out there in terms of quality but not the worst either.

But if it's only happening while gaming I'm pretty sure that's your problem.

Sounds like power supply Overdraw. 750W should be enough but maybe its faulty somewhere.

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

Check temperatures, change immediately that PSU for a 650W from Corsair (rm series) or CoolerMaster (vSm series)

"like if you could buy two Xbox Ones, put them togheter and actually play games at 1080P! Ha! BURN"

I think it was overheating the bottom vent for my PC was getting covered by carpet I put it somewhere else and it hasn't crashed since if it lasts a day without crashing I think I fixed the problem

Sounds good! Let us know if it crashes again.

This is potentially dangerous. Don't play with PSU's.

Replace it with something more efficient that won't cause much heat.

Case: Define R4 (Black - Window) | PSU: EVGA Supernova 850w Gold | Motherboard: ASUS Z97 Deluxe | SSD: Samsung 840 EVO (250GB) | CPU: Intel i7 4790K (Devil's Canyon) Delidded with CLU  GPU: ASUS STRIX 980 TI | Cooler: Corsair H100i with CLU | Extra: NZXT Hue

Ok so now it's probably the PSU. Can't think of something else... sorry.

Maybe you can check if your RAM is ok just to be sure. Run memtest or something.
