Computer Restarted Randomly in new Home

My computer just restarted on its own for the first time. I also just moved into a new place today so it is my first day using the computer in this house. It is a condo made for college students so I was thinking the power may be janky or something but it was just built 2 years ago. Either that or my PSU coincidently started having issues right after I moved. The lights I have inside my computer did not turn off and the lights in my room did not flicker or anything. The only way I knew something was wrong is when my screens lost signal and then regained signal showing the boot up. The computer was not doing anything stressful (surfing the web only). Earlier today I was playing crysis and had no problems. Im scared to do any projects now because it may restart and I would lose any progress so before it happens again I would like to find a solution.

Thanks for any help!
 
It could have just been a one time fluke.

But it is possible you damaged the computer in the move. You may want to try moving your computer to a different outlet.
 
First I would give it a going over and make sure everything is plugged in good since it was moved around. Power connectors/Memory/Video Card/IDE/SATA/Fans
 
Im starting to think it may be the PSU. Its a Masscool which isnt the highest quality. I pretty much took the computer apart to move it and put all the parts in their boxes and then re put it back together. Everything is well connected.
 
it could be your proccessesors temperature being to high and your computer restarts automatically to ease the load. if nothing else seems to be the problem that could be it
