PC freezes then restarts

Over the past month when playing games my PC will just freeze for a moment and then restart itself. It happens more on demanding games but will happen randomly also. Overheating is not an issue as it will do it when the PC is at a low temp.  When it restarts in say AMD bug report comes up saying it sorry for the software issue.

It would be helpful to list your full system specs .. including make and model of your power supply as well as everything else

POWER SUPPLY Apevia 600w

 

That's probably your issue right there

Apevia power supplies are pretty bad

 

At least run separate power cables from your power supply to each power input on your GPU

 

Look into getting a quality power supply sooner rather than later

Check out the PSU Tier List and multiple hardware review sites before purchasing anything. Never skimp on you power supply

 

Make sure you have the latest AM4 chipset drivers installed from AMD website

Be sure to update your BIOS to latest available for your motherboard 

You didn't list your RAM either .. 32GB of what? Is that 4 x 8GB sticks or 2 x 16GB sticks? What speed are they running at in Windows? Are they installed in slots A2/B2 (2nd and 4th slots away from the CPU socket) if you are running only 2 sticks of RAM?

Are you running any cable extenders INSIDE your case? ..ie PCIe riser cable, etc ..
