Having PC trouble

My pc keeps randomly restarting, usually when I try to play a game. I thought it was the psu. I swapped it for a new one and it still has the same issue. I'm thinking it's the ram, but does anyone have any suggestions? I'm hoping it's not my graphics card, cpu or motherboard, though all those things are still under warranty if I need to replace them.

Do you have 2 sticks of RAM? You can ether test them, or take one out and try running with just one and see if it crashes with it or not. Windows has a memory tester these days.
Of you remove the graphics card, do you still have video output on the mother board? You could see if it still happens without thr GPU.
Last, you could take the .other board out of the case; possibly there's an intermittent short on the metal, and placing it on cardboard might stop it.

How old is the system? This sounds similar to capacitor rot which usually affects psu's and motherboards

It's barely 6 months old.

Only 6 months? Did you get a warranty from the place you purchased the system from?

I built it, but yeah I still got parts under warranty.
