You might be a hardcore gamer, but we need some hardcore information/details.

What are your computer specs? New build? Old build that suddenly developed problems?

Nobody can help you if the only info we have is "pc unexpectedly shutdown".

Oh, Radeon Reboot (tm). Yes, I've seen that before. LOL.

(Yes, please post specs for your PC, approximate age of PC, OS, and what you were doing at the time it rebooted.)

When was the last time that you cleaned it out, dusted out the heatsink, maybe re-pasted the CPU? It could be overheating.

Do you have a "beeper" speaker installed on the mobo? Is it alarming (beeping, continuous tone)?

What are your BIOS settings for temp limit warning and/or shutdown?

Download the (free) program HWMonitor from www.cpuid.com

Check the temps and voltages, both at idle, and then, under load.

Edit: What GPU (video card) do you have? Approx. how old is your system, as far as you've had it. Was it purchased new, or out of used parts?

Check Event Viewer, Administrative Events.

Look for errors.

3rd gen CPU / motherboard? could be PSU / motherboard dying.

What GPU? recent driver update? how old is the PSU?

gtx 1160 its 6 months old and psu is 9 years old (0NLY)

 

[mxnerd]

9 year is pretty old. Got another PSU to try?

Do you get BSOD screen? See if the utility helps

Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.

Displays information about blue screen crashes occured on your system. (MiniDump Reader)

no bsod it just normally restarted and no problem after that i have speaker on motherboard also and no abnormal beeping

 

[VirtualLarry]

Hmm, OK, so temps are probably not the problem. PSU being 9 years old is suspect though. Unless it came with a 10-year warranty and has JPN caps, I would replace it, or at least, try swapping it with a new-ish PSU that is known working, either from a friend's PC, or maybe you can pick one up from a store with a good return policy, if you turn out to not need it, if you know what I mean. But that's my guess, when PSUs get that old, sometimes, they can get flaky.

Edit: PS. If you are as hardcore as you say, having a "spare PSU" around in the wings, is NOT a bad idea. I recommend that any serious computer enthusiast have a "bench PSU" or "spare PSU", that's less than 10 years old itself.
