My computer has started shutting down and restarting whilst playing battlefield.

It can happen within 5 minutes of running the game or it can be after a few hours.

The CPU temp's would sit around 70ish whilst gaming so I expected it was this causing the issue and bought a noctua D15. The noctua keeps the temps around 50 whilst gaming but the shutting down and restarting is still happening.

What could be causing this issue? The graphics card doesn't appear to be hot either, the fans are barely coming on whilst gaming which would indicate it's not having any issues.

These are my average readings whilst gaming, is there anything unusual?

Using a Corsair CX 750W.

I'm only using a 4.2Ghz overclock now I'm using the D15 but this shutting down was happening previously when no overclock was running.

How old is that PSU ? Do you have a spare you could swap in ?
Does device manager show any yellow warnings against any of your hardware ?

PSU is less than a year old and the only other PSU I have doest have 2 PCI-e connectors so it cannot be used.

Device manager is showing nothing usual.
