PC shuts off and boot loops

game-junkie · 16 Jun 2014 at 11:01

Pc just shuts off randomly and boot loops.

Motherboard is a gigabyte z68AP-D3

Cpu is an intel 2700k with a stock akasa cooler

Psu is an epsilon 1010w

Gpu is a gtx 770

Hdd is a seagate 2tb drive

I don't know what to do. I think it's the cpu as it idles at 45c and goes up to 60 quickly.

How old is that PSU?

It's from an old build from 2008.

So i dunno it might be the psu or the cpu i think. I know gigabyte mobos have trouble with boot looping.

Everytime i have had that problem its been PSU, got a spare you can try?

I haven't atm. So i can't rule it out. The pc is stable right now.

Last time I had that issue it was a corrupt bios... (I did silly things to do that yes)

I tried a new psu and one of the monitors went into sleep mode and it still boot looped.

I've now changed the cpu cooler and temps are back down to 30c.

I also removed the gpu and noticed there's some orange mark on the board. I hope i haven't fried it from running 3 monitors.
