Hello everyone,
I own a PC I built seven years ago that has become unstable. It starts and reboots unexpectedly. After cleaning the system, replacing the thermal paste on the processor, testing the power supply which turned out fine, reinstalling Windows 10 OS, updating drivers, swapping out a faulty fan, it still experiences crashes. Could you suggest possible defective components? Also, what software might help diagnose the issue? Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
I reinstalled a Win 10 OS
Where did you source the installer for the OS?
I tested the power supply which is good,
How did you test the PSU?

Hello and thank you for the welcome.
I'm not very familiar with forums, but it was highly suggested to me.
Below is a summary of my system details:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 @ 3.20 GHz 792 MHz 4 cores
CPU cooler: heatsink + fan
Motherboard: Gigabit H170-HD3
Ram: 16 GB DDR4
Storage: SSD 250 GB Western Digital blue
GPU: Intel HD GRAPHICS 530
Power supply: 650W POWER SUPPLY 2015
Chassis: TOWER
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 10.0.1905 Build 1945
Display: Essential TV
Where did you obtain the OS installer?
Upload to Microsoft
How did you verify the PSU?
I brought the PSU to a technician who tested it. I also ran a test using UseDIAG and will share the analysis results here:
