My PC is freezing up and rebooting right now when I don't use it much.
My computer has been acting weird lately, freezing and restarting all the time. It usually freezes for about ten to twenty seconds then just goes black and restarts. This mostly happens when I'm not using it much or doing simple stuff like watching YouTube or scrolling on Google. Even if I'm playing a game, it rarely does this. Honestly, I don't even remember this happening before recently. It used to happen once in a while but now it's coming up multiple times every day and sometimes right after the computer restarts too. My PC is about four years old here are the parts: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card Corsair RAM Samsung SSD MSI motherboard and a good power supply some of my reboot reports show up below
Welcome to the forums! Is your power supply unit (PSU) old or new? How many years has it been used? What kind of motherboard did you get, an MSI X570 Gaming Plus model? Which version of the BIOS do you have running on that board? You also got a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with 8GB of memory. Do you use the latest graphics driver? Finally, what brand and model is your monitor? Is your operating system Windows 11 or 24H2? Are TPM and Secure Boot turned on in your BIOS settings?
The power supply unit is four years old, yes. The motherboard BIOS has an RTX 3060TI driver version of 32.0.15.7652. My monitor is a GIGABYTE model running at 144Hz on a screen that supports up to 2560 x 1440 pixels in Windows 10 22H2, and secure boot is turned off.
