Desktop randomly restarts, need help

My desktop has started randomly restarting with no warning or BSOD. It usually happens while gaming, although it has happened once while I was just browsing.

Temps look normal, and I’ve already updated the GPU drivers, so I’m wondering if the PSU or RAM could be the culprit. The PC is about 3 years old.

What would you check first before replacing parts? I’m especially interested in reliable ways to test the PSU and RAM.

I’m also looking at https://etechdevices.com/ as a possible source for replacement PC hardware if I end up needing a component, but I’d rather diagnose the problem first.

Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated!
 
Check the event viewer for entries explaining what it could be. Ram failing would usually BSOD but you could run memtest on it.
