Hi :)
I have been having this trouble for quite some time and been trying to solve this in so many different ways , but i cant even detect exactly where the issue is to know which part should i replace.
To explain the issue might get a bit complicated, so sorry in advance for a long explanation
- As the title says, the PC resets Mostly when playing only certain games , and only on specific moments of the game that mostly have to do with either loading new areas, or right before a bigger type of special effect starts.
- Sometimes the PC resets early too, when the games main menu, right after/or during loading.
- Sometimes its just fine and i could be on for hours and hours and absolutely no problems happen.
- The best part is that the most demanding game that i have ( call of duty warzone ) can run at high graphics without any problems at all, but simple games like overwatch or runescape on low graphics cause those resets.

- I have tried different solutions software-wise.. i have done clean installs of windows and even changed operating system. My drivers are up to date and i have even tried other versions of drivers for my graphics card ( studio instead of game-ready for nvidia )
- The event viewer doesnt show anything at the time the resets happen, apart from kernel powers stating that Power off happened unexpectedly
- I have done stress test to every hardware ( PSU,MB,RAM,GPU,CPU,Cooling) with OCCT and everything comes out without any error nor resets
- I have changed video output from HDMI to DisplayPort

MY PC Specifications are:
MB: MSI B350 Tomahawk (MS-7a34)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
RAM: (total 16gb) 2x 8gb DDR4 SDRAM Corsair CMK8GX4M1E3200C16
GPU: Asus Turbo Gtx 1070 with chipset NVIDA Geforce GTX 1070
PSU: Zone Evil ATX 750 APFC ( 750W 80+ )

I find it puzzling to know which part do i need to replace..
The pc works fine and has no performance issues at stress-tests and performs very well in every aspect, to all my expectations, except for the reset part...
 
Thanks @jmarket
I was using Windows 10 when it all happened, then tried fresh install of it, then tried changing to windows 11, problem persisted so i downgraded back to windows 10
Edit: i use 2 kingston SSD-s , one for operating system, and another for everything else,
When the problem started i was using a HDD for everything but i changed it to SSD. So unless its the SSD where the windows is located i can safely say its not a hard drive problem
 
Hi!
I did a Leap of luck and bought a new motherboard, since that what made most sense to me to buy, and i stopped having issues with the new motherboard.
So no i dont need more help - it was a faulty motherboard.
Thanks :)
