PC shuts down unexpectedly and may fail to power on consistently?
Hi,
I've noticed my PC sometimes restarts on its own, without any clear reason. It doesn't seem to be tied to heavy tasks—during games it's happened only a few times, but even simple activities like browsing Discord or using Chrome cause more frequent restarts. There are no BSODs or crashes; just a complete reboot.
Recently, I've also struggled to turn on my PC, even after draining all static power and cleaning the components.
What I've tried so far:
- Removed the MB battery and reset BIOS
- Cleaned dust from all parts
- Swapped RAM slots, using only one stick in each slot
- Changed power cables
My thought is that the PSU might be faulty. Before buying a new one, I'd like to know if anyone else suspects another issue.
Details:
PSU: Corsair RM850x
CPU: 10700k
MB: Asus z370
RAM: 16gb DDR4 G.Skill 3000mhz..
Thanks in advance!
update the BIOS
the RM850x remains under warranty, send it back via RMA
monitor temperatures
