System restarts repeatedly without any indication on the display?
I bought this starter PC for my son eight months back, but it’s been having some problems lately. When I turn on the computer, the monitor doesn’t show any signal. After a few minutes, the PC powers off and then restarts, staying on for about two minutes before it shuts down again, still without a display connection. At first, I thought the power supply unit or the graphics card might be the cause, since I had a 600W PSU and a 3060 graphics card installed. But after swapping the PSU with a new 750W model and testing it with my own 3070 Ti GPU, the issue continued.
I’ve already excluded the PSU and GPU because they seem to be working fine. Are there any other possibilities you think might explain this?
Here are the details about the PC:

- Graphics Card: Changed from 3060 to 3070 Ti
- RAM: 16GB DDR4
- Power Supply: Originally 600W, now a new 750W unit
- Storage: 500GB PCI-E NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD
- Operating System: Windows 11

Those are advertised wattages. You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSUs used for the build.
If this is the prebuilt you have to work with;

Can you take the side panels off the case and look for both the PSU info and the make and model of the motherboard?
More frequently than expected, the problem stems from the RAM. Is the 16GB consisting of two 8GB sticks? Then take out one and observe the outcome; if it doesn't help, swap them and try again. Sometimes just exchanging the two sticks is enough.
I also took out the aio cooler and noticed the processor had some paste left behind. It seems not all of it was applied. Could this be the problem?
