PC restarting when playing games.

[Marinel Cipu]

I just bought a new pc a few days ago ( I5 10400f, Gtx 1660 ti xs oc msi gddr6 6gb vram, gigabyte b460m aorus pro motherboard, 2tb HDD Seagate Barracuda, 250gb SSD Kingston a2000 and a 650w psu from Corsair, cv650 ). Every time I play a game, it just makes a really weird noise like coin while or something but I'm not sure if it's the gpu since it works just fine when I'm not playing any sort of game. It works fine for around 5 up to ten mins and then it restarts. The temps are: 30-33 in standby and 48-50 in games - cpu ( stock cooler ) and 32 almost all the time and 50-65 while playing - gpu. Max temps are 100 for the cpu and 83 for the gpu. And I'm pretty sure you cannot reach these temps in a very short amount of time. Someone told me to get a 850w psu because 650w shouldn't be enough for my rig and in my opinion 650w is more than needed for my pc, so I would accuse the PSU for this type of issue. I'll probably reinstall my drivers I guess ( the Nvidia drivers ) and see if it works, if it doesn't, then I don't know what to do next. All my drivers are up to date, including the bios. I checked the reliability history thing and it said: LiveKernelEvent Code 141 under the event, and even 117. Screenshot: Screenshot, 2020-11-14 12:08:51 - Paste.Pics

I've even had green circles on my screen after the reboot.
