Hey Guys,
I'm in a situation where my PC restarts without any warning or BSOD, it just fails and restarts or even shuts completely down , this only happens when i'm gaming and there is more power consumption.
At first I thought it was the PSU or CPU overheating, so I played games and watched the temps of cpu and gpu and they were normal.
Then I remembered that I changed the cables that are connected to the outlet, I bought a new electric switch( I don't know what it's called heres the pic)

So instead of buying the one that's pre-made, I bought a 2.5 mm cable and made one myself so I control the length of the cable which is 1.5 meters.
So I thought maybe this isn't delivering the right current, So I used the old one I had which is pre-made and looks like the picture below and the problem is solved.

my PSU is Corsair CMPSU-430CXv3 430W PSU 80 PLus Bronze
and my UPS is a generic 1200 va
so what's my problem? why is the new one causing the PSU to fail? I think the 2.5 mm cable is more than enough I don't know if i'm wrong
