The system is repeatedly shutting down and starting again.
You just assembled a new PC and were thrilled when it booted up. However, it kept restarting after a short time. After downloading Windows and updating drivers, the issue persisted for 2 to 10 minutes. You updated the BIOS before installing all components, assuming it wouldn’t affect stability. Your build includes an MSI B550-M Pro-VDH Ryzen 5 5600 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, an 850W Corsair PSU, a Samsung 870 Evo, and an Asus 1050Ti (only one part installed so far). Any advice?
The phrase can refer to different scenarios. It might mean the system shuts down completely and displays a restart message, or it could involve a sudden black screen with the motherboard logo during startup. The exact behavior depends on the situation.
If your RAM isn't installed properly, the computer may fail to start or show frequent crashes. Finding a short circuit can be difficult, but you often notice a sudden power cut during testing. It would make a big difference if someone else could replace the CPU with a 6/8 pin power connector. When the system shuts down unexpectedly, it's likely the auxiliary power plug isn't connected correctly. You should also clarify whether the PC gets power directly from the wall or uses an uninterruptible power supply.
