The PC reboots at 110 volts during operation of the application, yet functions properly at 220 volts?
The PC reboots at 110 volts during operation of the application, yet functions properly at 220 volts?
I own a custom-built PC running a specialized program that demands significant CPU resources. On 110V AC power, the machine restarts shortly after launching the app. At 220V, it operates without issues, showing no crashes or restarts.
System Details:
Processor: i7 processor 9th gen
Motherboard: GA-IMB310TN(REV 1.0)
Power Adapter: 65W power
OS: Windows 10 pro
Observations:
The system boots and runs smoothly at both voltage levels. Restart happens only when the application is running under heavy load on 110V. No BSOD appears—just a brief reboot. Event Viewer shows no crash logs, just a clean boot event. Temperatures remain normal with live monitoring.
What I've Tried:
- Enabled High Performance power mode
- Updated BIOS and drivers
- Checked voltage, temperature, and CPU load consistently
- Switched components (processor, RAM, SSD, power supply) except the motherboard
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
And I will include the recommendation to check Reliability History/Monitor.
Event Viewer serves as a useful resource.
Nevertheless, Reliability History/Monitor offers a timeline view that could highlight certain trends.
Occasionally, an error code, warning, or informational message surfaces when 110 volts is applied, but not when 220 volts is used.
Unless they reside in a nation offering both 110v and 220v from the wall, my assumption would be that whatever device they employ to transform 220 to 110 likely isn't designed for the complete demand.
The entire setup will effortlessly accommodate over 65W, meaning if this is your converter's capacity then the issue lies elsewhere.
What are these adapters you mention? Can you show a picture and upload it to the appropriate site? Did you bring your system from Europe or another country with different voltage standards? Also, since I believe you are not a native English speaker, please explain your issue in detail using your own words, and translate it into English as requested. You need to provide more information about your problem.

My PC functions well in Asia with a 220V power supply, but it encounters difficulties in the US where the voltage is 110V.
Here are the compatible models: i7-9700 -65w, i7-9700k -95w, i7-9700t -35w.
Additionally, consider the power consumption of other parts like the motherboard, RAM, storage, and any discrete graphics card you might have.
For now, you can disable Turbo Boost in BIOS.
However, a more powerful adapter with at least 150W is recommended.
