The system unexpectedly shuts down and restarts multiple times.
My recent PC built a few days ago is now restarting unexpectedly, even when under load. It doesn’t restart when the system is stressed. Could a faulty component or driver be causing this? Please assist. Here’s the spec list: CPU - Ryzen 5 7600 MB; RAM - 32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance 5600mhz; SSD - Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB; GPU - Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 XT; PSU - Gigabyte UD750GM 750W.
How long has it been constructed? Were any modifications made during that period? (software or hardware, such as USB devices) I would verify: No components have disconnected (power cables, RAM, graphics card). Nothing is shifting in a way that could trigger a short circuit. There was no reset that erased your settings (for example after an outage). Inspect the event viewer near the restart times. Review XMP/EXPO updates. Examine the SMART status of the SSD.
I assembled the PC on September 7th this year. I kept most of the changes minimal, remaining on Windows 11 since then. I added an extra SSD from an old laptop, but it didn’t work properly, so I removed it. Regarding USB devices, I have the standard keyboard and mouse connected with a webcam. I’ve verified that RAM and power cables are correctly placed, and the GPU is slightly sagging, which I addressed by purchasing a stand. The only movement I notice are the fans. I’ll check the Event Viewer and the SSD SMART status tomorrow to provide more details.
