Hello. Lately for some unknown reason my PC will reboot itself.
I can be watching a video, or browsing the web, or even doing nothing just sitting at the desktop and the PC will reboot.

There is no BSOD or anything, its just like someone comes along an pushes the reset button.

At first I thought it would be overheating, but that is not an issue at all as all temps on CPU and GPU are good, the when the computer reboots itself. It comes right back to Windows.

Any ideas on how I can work out the problem?
 
Hello,
Today I recived a new PSU and whacked that in the Computer.
After 5 hours of watching HD videos and browsing the internet it was all fine. Then suddenly, once again a random reboot.

And just to say, yeah I have got the BSOD thing turned on. Any idea what could be causing this? Temps are fine so its not that, its not obviously not the PSU. And there is No BSOD so it can not be a hardware fault as far as I know?

Going crazy here as you can imagine. Any ideas?
 
I will go for all of this thanks CBJ. But I thought that if any hardware was at fault then it would flash on a BSOD then reboot.
No idea why im not getting the BSOD but just straight into a reboot, Im 100% sure ive got the BSOD enabled to stay on the screen until I hit a key

EDIT: Just ran memtest and all came back fine with 0 errors.
95thrifles, I fail to see how a fresh install would help?

Old PSU: Corsair 1000W
New PSU: Corsair 850W

Recently updated my Nvidia drivers and it still reboots.

Must say as well thanks for all the help your giving me guys, really appreciate this :)
 
Yeah SMAndy im running the 4GB kit.
Ive unpluggede my PSU from the surge protector it was in and plugged it straight into the wall, see how that goes.

If it still reboots I'm going to unplug one graphics card and see how that goes.

Thanks again for all the advice. Ill write back how things go. Don't know how long it will be though lol. I'm aiming for a week without reboots before I call it stable
 
Well that didn't help.
Now gone to the fresh install route see how that plays out
 
Fresh install worked fine for about 2 days and now started to reboot again. I have taken out a graphics card that I think might be faulty... now play the waiting game again
 
I ran memtest on it Souldjacker and both sticks passed. As I said ive taken the GPU out but if that doesn't solve it... I'll give different RAM slots a try
 
Its was OC'd but gone back to stock since the reboots started and is still rebooting
 
I will do... I did reinstall the OS the other day because I thought that would be the problem... But still getting these reboots
