PC restarts ?
Hello guys, could you assist me?
What’s the main problem with my PC? It suddenly goes black and restarts. At first I thought it was just a random occurrence, but when I opened Google Chrome it freezes and then restarts. I’m not sure if this is normal or if leaving the PC idle causes it to happen.
MBD: ASUS PRIME B560M-A
CPU: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-11900 @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB)
PSU: CORSAIR 750 W
Please help me if you have any idea what’s going on, thank you.

How is the processor being cooled?

BIOS version for your motherboard?
RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB)
Would you like a link to the RAM you're using?
PSU: CORSAIR 750 W
Corsair is the brand, but what model and age are you referring to?
You didn't mention the operating system. Are you encountering any BSoD messages? If not, consider running memtest to check for errors.
Take the system to a safe state, disconnect it and examine the interior.
Remove any dust and particles.
Check visually and by touch to ensure all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are securely positioned.
Use a strong flashlight to spot any damage: exposed wires, melting parts, twisted or compressed cables, rust, dampness, swollen components, darkened or blackened spots, cracks, or loose screws...
Then proceed with "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to detect any corrupted files.

My PSU fan is ID-COOLING SE-224-XT BASIC 2 FAN - Dual Fan / se 224xt / se224xt
I am using ADATA GAMMIX D35 DDR4 32GB
My BIOS version

PSU its corsair CV750
and im on windows 11 64 bit, and no there is no BSoD the screen just turn black and then restart by it self
Random reboots or shutdowns usually stem from two problems:
1. CPU/GPU overheats, causing the system to shut down to avoid damage.
2. PSU doesn’t provide enough power to the GPU or fails to maintain stable voltage for the PC.
First, check your CPU/GPU temperatures—both when idle and under load. If they’re normal, the PSU is likely the issue.
A low-quality PSU is probably the main reason your PC restarts unexpectedly.
The solution is replacing it with a high-quality one, such as Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, or Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.
If you prefer the newest ATX 3.0/3.1 PSU, here’s a recommendation: https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-at...e-busters/
(My three PCs are also powered by Seasonic. I own two PRIME TX-650 units and one Focus PX-550 unit. Detailed specs with pictures are in my profile.)
I went through all these steps and it said the repair was successful. I'll check again tonight, hoping it fixes the issue.
I verified the temperatures: CPU at 44°C and GPU at 34°C, which seems within typical ranges.
Many individuals show little interest in PSU, often opting for the most affordable choice, assuming all PSUs are similar and questioning the need to spend more. Unfortunately, this isn’t true. Just as with other hardware, there exist high-quality and low-quality PSUs. The price of a PSU serves as a key indicator, because you cannot have both low cost and excellent performance. To obtain a budget-friendly yet reliable PSU, it’s necessary to purchase two units: one inexpensive and another superior.
Also, since PSU powers all components, it becomes the most critical part inside the PC. Therefore, never compromise on quality when selecting a PSU! Avoid purchasing used models as well. Most users only consider PSUs after encountering problems with their current setup. Frequent reboots or shutdowns are relatively minor issues, but in many cases, a failing PSU can cause hardware damage—such as overheating CPUs and GPUs. Once problems arise (or the system fails), people typically begin researching better PSUs and opt for higher quality units.
When compared to the high cost of CPUs and GPUs, PSUs are actually quite affordable. Even premium models. In your build, you have a top-tier Core i9 processor, which costs over 300 dollars. For the GPU, you have an RX 6700XT priced around 460 dollars. Here are links for reference:

Compared to your CPU and GPU, good and high-quality PSUs are surprisingly inexpensive.
If you can afford a 300+ dollar CPU and a 450+ dollar GPU, there’s no reason not to choose a PSU around 200 dollars.
