Computer restarts when starting demanding game after BIOS update
I have been experiencing computer restarts when some high demanding game loads. This happened after i updated my Asus TUF B760M-PLUS D4's BIOS from 1820 to 1836.
I have attempted to flashback to previous bios but it made it worst, where it restarts when i attempt to sign in to my Windows. So I update back to the latest one again where its stable as long i dont play any games.
After some troubleshootings, i suspect its the PSU after OCCT's power test. It just failed in the first 2 secs.
Does anyone has any idea what caused this? Ill try to put down my specs and troubleshooting below.
Spec:
MB: Asus TUF B760M-PLUS D4
CPU: Intel I5-14600kf
Mem: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32gb DDR4 3200mhz
GPU: Gigabyte 4070 Gaming OC
PSU: Corsair RM850 (should be the 2023 model, build this pc around early-mid 2023)
