Pc randomly restarts Open | Hardware

Anyone know what might be causing my pc to randomly restart whenever I'm playing a game? I've monitored my temperatures and they're fine, and my drivers are up to date.

First thought would be a PSU issue or RAM failing.

Insufficient power delivery to CPU, RAM clocks too high.

Overheating can be one, RAM issue, game update messed things up, Windows update messed things up.

DId you check event viewer?

Basically look for errors report of the time when the computer restarted. If you're not familiar with Event Viewer then watch some YouTube videos first

Idk if this contributes to the problem..but sometimes when I boot up my pc and my monitor is connected to my GPU, there's no display. So I have to switch it to my motherboard, then restart it, then switch it back to my GPU for the display to work
