Dead PSU?

[NoNameNoNumber]

Will power up and be fine for maybe 10minutes or so... Then reboot, then maybe get into windows and reboot... Then get stuck in a savage loop of power off / on until I kill it. Switch main power off for a moment before powering up again and I can get back into windows but only for minutes at a time...

Dead power supply? Last night was the first time it's done it... Checked all of the connectors over.

Is this the spec in sig?

Sounds like RAM or even HDD/SSD could be doing this (possibly). Have you tried reseating RAM?

Yes, spec in sig. Odd you should say SSd's, I have them all stuffed in the HDD bay as my case doesnt seem to have an SSD caddy, checked all of those cables were seated correctly (they seemed to be) and since posting this thread it's been fine!

I'll fire Age of Empires up and report back

Sound like dying PSU.

I had similar issue with previous AX850 PSU, first noticed my PC shutdown itself when I was away from PC for 15 mins but had standby led light on motherboard back in January 2015 then repeated few times every months until it finally died few months ago when there was no standby led light on motherboard. So I bought new AX860 while RMAed AX850 and then sold AX850 replacement.

It has done it a couple of times today too so I am inclined to agree with you

Bad timing as I've spent a fortune on other bits this month!
