My computer frequently restarts while playing Fortnite alone. However, it runs without issue with games like Apex Legends, Bioshock Infinite, or CS:GO. I recently updated my NVIDIA graphics driver and two days prior, I performed an overclocking test using Unigine Valley, increasing my memory speed and clock rate, at which point it began to reboot unexpectedly. I’m wondering if the power supply unit might be the issue. Please excuse my imperfect English.

PC Specifications:
i7 2600
asus sabertooth z77
GTX 970 Palit Jetstream
Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb DDR3 stick 1600mhz
1tb HDD
480 SSD
corsair tx850m
Windows 10

Could this be a recently installed version of Windows? Or has the drive been replaced or upgraded previously?

It appears to be an earlier version; I disabled my Windows updates due to uncertainty.

Did Windows 7 or Windows 8 transition to version 10? A potential issue could be a conflict between the operating system and drivers. Updating your OS would also be beneficial, as this may contribute to resolving the problem.

I had Windows 10, and three weeks ago I reinstalled it, but the version installed was a previous one.
