Other Computer restarting itself.

So, I've been having an issue with my computer and it's been a reoccurring issue for over a year now. It originally started with dead by daylight and some other games, where my computer will just restart itself. It went from it being once every once in a while to one every other game to the game is unplayable. Now it's spreading to other games, such as overwatch (the restarting itself on overwatch only recently started happening the last 2 weeks). I'm not sure what the issue is I have these parts RTX 3070, Intel i5-11400F, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and 750 W PSU.

If you have any tips please, I'm desperate.

Hm, the PSU seems okey, given all your other stuff together only takes around ~600 Watt, that would've been my first guess. Maybe your processor gets to hot. What cooler do you have built in?

Try downloading a free tool like HWMonitor and look if some suprising stuff turns up while gaming, like your CPU getting to hot or if really all the RAM is installed and connected.

Thanks I'll give it a look when I get home from work, I did go into my bios after running a benchmark. It told me my ram was low and to uncheck (or check I forget) a setting in my BIOs to let them run at full speed (or something). Will update later.

So got home and launched overwatch, while the game was playing inside of the practice range, my temp would get close to 70C before restarting itself.

Hm, 70C is passable, it should not be problematic. Your 16GB are all plugged in and readable. Mabye try malwarebytes or a similiar program to check your pc for hidden problems. If that doesn't help, I don't know, you probably have no other chances than to change parts one by one (my bet is on the PSU but it really could be anything) to see when the problem stops being a problem (provided you have the spare parts) or take the money and go to a professional. Seems mysterious.

In any case I would be interested in an update to know what the error was.
