You will have to check and deal with each one individually, this will not change the fact that you have a weak PSU having its innards cooked by the demands being placed on it, same goes for the bottleneck caused by the RAM.
 
  1. Change High Performance power plan to balanced (I tried this before didn't work)
    • Disable MSI Afterburner
    • Remove Java
    • Only use 1 monitor
Seems to do the trick. Will need further testing, I don't know if I just ate dinner quickly but it didn't restart.
 
I've also done the following:

sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Update: It doesn't restart when MSI Afterburner is disabled and Java is uninstalled. I tested with 2 monitors plugged in. @PeterOz any idea where do we go from here?
 
You need to think about a new psu.
One with more power and I would buy a quality one with a ten year warranty gold rated.
The more stress you put on an under powered psu the more heat you cause.
You do not need afterburner.
Do you know if you need java?
 
I'll get a new PSU within this year as I'm due for an upgrade. I just use afterburner for hardware monitoring/FPS for games. I do need java as I still run some jars for downloading here and there.

In the meantime I'll try to default afterburner settings just to see if I can still run it properly. Thanks for the help!
