I've encountered a problem after installing a new hard drive that would cause my PC to restart unexpectedly. This occurred mainly during web browsing or YouTube watching, even when I wasn't playing heavy games. There was no overheating, and I haven't overclocked my CPU or GPU. XMP was enabled but still triggered a reboot. Even after swapping the RAM slots, the issue persisted. I suspect a power supply unit (PSU) fault might be involved, though I'm not sure. Removing the new hard drive didn't stop the restarts. I purchased these components secondhand (except the GPU), which could affect the situation. I'm reaching out for advice and hope someone can help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
