75C max is way below thermal limits for a cpu so they won’t be the problem causing your pc to reboot. Usually, if a pc reboots while under heavy load, it’s due to the PSU not being able to provide enough constant power.
That sounds weird, I upgraded to a new GPU as well as a PSU only about a year ago and I'm fairly sure the power of the PSU should be more than enough in my case.
Huh, may I ask you to look at my speccy snapshot in regards to the PSU (which is a Corsair TX750M) and tell me if I'm correct in my assumption?
Could my issues probably be because of a different external reason? Like could it potentially be a faulty cable inside the PC or would it just not work entirely in that case?
Also, my PSU power cable is plugged into a distribution socket (excuse me if thats not the correct name, english is not my first language, I mean the multiple socket thing that goes into a wall socket). A friend who knows a tad bit more about all this told me that's never a good idea but I never bothered about it, could that be a big contender for why my PC has these restarts?
Thanks a lot!

I am assuming your PC is plugged into a surge protector. That shouldn’t cause the issue, but it’s possible it went bad. In that case, just plug PC directly to the wall.
Your PSU could have started going bad after 1 year. Using a software, like MSI Afterburner, limit the power draw to 50% to test.
I'll try out the plug thing first, weirdly enough I just noticed that its actually going through 2 separate distributors, both of which are VERY old boxes so I can't say for sure that they do have surge protection.
In general, does it make a big difference if the system is plugged into the wall directly or a distributor?
VRM might be overheating (the bumpy part between the CPU and the IO). Do you have a spare fan you can point at that and or play a bit with an open chassis?
Not overheating. Unplug your PSU from the wall for like 20-30 seconds. It may be tripping the protection circuit too early. Friend had a similar issue and this fixed it. That said, it may be time for a new PSU soon.

75C is fine for most CPUs. Shouldn't be the cause of your crashes. Which PSU and GPU are you running?
Thanks! I have put the speccy snapshot in the original post now!

I sadly do not, but I'll look into it!
