As you've already ruled out a power issue I'd first check the CPU temperature immediately after the restart via the BIOS.
If that was fine then I'd be thinking driver problem maybe?

Well, you know being more specific would help. Define "a game", does this mean you have tried multiple games and every single one does the same thing? If you have tried many games it's dobtful it's a driver issue. If you only tried 1 game or games that are really simular it could be drivers. After we know weather it's a software or hardware issue it should be easier to help.

Was the 650W power supply included with the case? And do you have a link? Sounds like a unsufficient PSU.
