If im playing a full screen game for some reason every now and again my computer decides to restart, it doesnt do it when in on my desktop or surfing the web etc. I have checked my mobo and its running at 25°c and my cpu is running at 41°c so its not overheating, i have also checked the psu to mobo connector and there is a pin missing, is that supposed to be missing or not, and if not is that the cause of my restarts?
