My PC has been shutting down unexpectedly lately. Even though it’s a reliable model (CM C-MWE 450W), it keeps restarting frequently. After replacing the PSU with a local brand (Ant Esports), the problem persists but less often—just a couple of times in a week. With the CM, reboots occur randomly, but with Ant Esports they only happen during power outages and when the inverter activates. The motherboard was recently fixed, and a resistor replacement caused the GPU to stop reporting its wattage.

It could be related to the motherboard, but we require additional details about your other components, such as CPU and graphics card, since power consumption might exceed what your 450-watt PSU can support.

i5 6400 with 16GB RAM and 1050Ti performs well under 450W. A 500W PSU works fine for me, while a 300W one has been okay before.

From what I've seen, restarts often stem from issues with the motherboard, CPU, RAM, or power supply. It seems unlikely the power supply is the problem, and unless the heatsink is completely failed, the CPU probably isn't the culprit. That points to RAM and the motherboard itself. Since your motherboard was recently fixed, it’s possible the repair didn’t go fully through.
