PC restarts when gaming? Possible PSU failure?

[Yiz]

I made a thread earlier here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/468367-possible-psu-failure/

To sum it up I basically had 2 hard reboots, both while playing Elite Dangerous, and one of the time I had a Minecraft server in the background. There was no BSOD or nothing, just black screen and instant restart, though the PC stayed on, so it wasn't really a shutdown. At first I thought it was a PSU failure and many people agreed but I looked further in the event viewer and a series of events took place before before each restart which would be odd if it was you know... a random power failure. Anyway here are the crashes compiled, if someone could take a look and give me their thoughts that would be much appreciated. 

 

Here are the crash logs compiled in an odd manner. Also I don't know how to do spoliers so I apologize. Each crash is read from bottom to top.

PC specs?

 

But it's possible, if you're still under warranty then try to return it.

[PlayStation 2]

I'd try getting your PSU RMA'd. It won't kill you.

PC specs?

In the sig, " i5 4690k + H100i, Gigabyte G1 GTX 980 Ti, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, G. Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB, Corsair HX850w, Seagate 1TB, Red/Black H440 and NZXT Hue."

That PSU is more than enough, could be something else.

Maybe try stress testing your PC.

But again, it's possible if your PSU is the problem.

I'll probably end up doing it since Corsair, from what I heard, is good with fulfilling their warranties.

Anyone else have an idea what it could be?

[michilins]

I have the same issue, did you ever find a solution?
