It could be that your vrm on the GPU is overheating, your card doesnt show temperatures for that. The best thing to test that, is put your CPU to stock values, and only overclock the GPU with the voltage set to 1.062 or 1.087, if it still restarts it is not a CPU issue. If it doesnt restart, up the vcore on the cpu.
You dont have to touch the vvt voltage if you are not overclocking the ram, so leave it stock.
