Hi there! I've noticed this strange problem with my PC for about a year now. It seems to shut down unpredictably—sometimes right after turning on, sometimes just after launching an app. It can happen when the system loads, after a short period of use, or even after about ten minutes. The issue is really random and doesn’t follow any clear pattern.
My setup includes a 7700k Asus Maximus IX Hero motherboard, 32GB RAM, Corsair 750x power supply, and I’m not sure what to do. No error messages appear, so my guess is that environmental factors might be involved. High humidity could be the culprit, but I’m not sure how to test that. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You might test your CMOS battery. It’s suggested to replace them every five years, and your motherboard may need a fresh battery soon.
I swapped out the CMOS battery a year ago, yet I wonder if that’s the issue, since a machine can run without it and won’t retain its BIOS settings.
Based on the motherboard, a failing CMOS battery might display various signs in your PC. Frequent restarts could occur. It's not very common, but it's easy to verify and eliminate.
It looks like a solid model overall, though some components might still have minor flaws that slipped through QC. At this stage, we should focus on the CMOS battery—old ones can behave unpredictably. The power supply button is another area to investigate, as random failures often point to motherboard problems.
Absolutely, it's clearly not the CMOS battery issue. It's still fresh, and I also attempted to skip using one.
Hey, I’m really struggling with this problem. More details: unplugging the CPU cable causes the computer to freeze and show an error on the motherboard, while pulling out the RAM also triggers errors without fixing it. But once everything is connected again, it restarts every few seconds. Need someone to help me figure this out.
