Reduce your overclocks back to stock and see if that fixes it.

Since you have stability problem in PUBG you'd play that to test to see if the problem is resolved. You're mostly paying attention to the GPU temperature, the VRM temperature doesn't really matter that much. I mean, the card doesn't work if the VRMs overheat, but unless you've jacked up the voltage for overclocking that is unlikely to be the problem.

System restarts usually point to a CPU overclock issue, the game crashing or the driver restarting points to GPU overclock.

Yes, it could be a failing PSU, or even motherboard. Just to confirm, you did set the CPU back to stock and it still happened? It's always possible you just didn't adequately stress test the CPU at 4Ghz and it's really only stable under all workloads at 3.8 with that voltage/cooling, for example. Or stuff's just getting more marginal with age.

Turn down the CPU overclock and see what happens.

Snakes in a can posted:

I would look at running a furmark burn in test, if its a power problem to do with the psu/gpu that should sniff it out quickly. Have you ever reseated your ram ( take it out and put it back in)?
Furmark is actually not too useful as a stress test anymore because all cards throttle it so heavily. Normal gaming uses more power and will find issues much more quickly.
