PC random restarts
PC random restarts
my pc suddenly shuts down, and i’m confused about the real cause.
i installed a new motherboard, tried changing the ram slots, reinstalled the os.
the specs are: asus tuf b365m wifi plus gaming (just brought), intel core i5 9400f at 2.9ghz, 16gb ddr4 at 2666 mhz, msi rtx 3060 ti gaming x trio, corsair cv650 psu.
i checked temperatures and everything seems normal for both gpu and cpu.
sometimes the pc works for 3 to 4 hours, but it can’t run smoothly during heavy tasks like gaming editing.
it restarts when idle, so i thought maybe the psu was faulty.
i tried a paperclip test, but the psu fans are spinning.
after that, i removed my ssd and hdd, and the pc would restart in bios too.
it seems the issue isn’t related to the os.

How are you keeping that processor cool?
I brought a new motherboard

asus tuf b365m wifi plus gaming (just got it)
What board did you use before this one?
Then I realized it was probably a PSU, so I tried the paperclip test but the PSU fans were spinning.
Paperclip methods aren't reliable; they don't accurately show how much power the PSU can deliver to the whole system.
corsair cv650 psu
How long has your PSU been in use?
I'm using a corsair h55 lq cooler. Temperatures are really fine. Idle temps 35-40°C. Gaming temps 65-75°C. I installed an asus tuf b365 plus gaming full atx. Before last week I got a brand new asus b365 tuf wifi mb. My psu is 2 years and 4 months old.
