My pc keeps rebooting when i play game.

Go to solution Solved by Heercamelot,

I fixed it, i pulled all of the cables,GPU and the storage out of my pc and but them all back in and now it is fine and working.

When i start up a game my pc restarts or just shuts off and i have to flip the PSU switch to make it turn back on. When i start up a game my pc restarts within a minutes. i don't have any thermal issue's i have my task manager and corsair link open to manage my thermals and usage of my GPU and CPU and noticed nothing abnormal. I run daily virus and cleanup scans with: 360 total security. Does anyone have any fixes for this issue or know any way to resolve this problem?

CPU: i7 5820k(i had OC it before and yesterday i set the preset OC to 3.8ghz on easytune, but when i check today when the reboot issue happend it was setback to the default 3.6ghz)

My first thing would have been to make sure it's not heat related, but since you say that you see no real abnormal spikes, the next culprit is typically the power supply.

Other than that, can you recall any updates you've done that might coincide with this new behavior?

Outside of a weird software/driver issue, or the power supply on the hardware side, the only other thing I've experienced in the past that is similar to this situation was fixed with a BIOS update, but I'm more inclined to lean on the power supply as the likely one.
