This new computer is shutting down repeatedly.
Hello, I just completed assembling a new PC and after installing Windows 10 everything functioned properly. I allowed it to download all updates. After some time it simply restarted (you’ll hear a click during the reset) and whenever I entered a password on the login screen it would reset again. I attempted to install Windows this time and downloaded HWinfo but the CPU never exceeded 40°C. Still, after about 15 minutes it reset once more, returning to the same situation as before. I tried re-seating the RAM and double-checked all connections, but nothing changed. I haven’t modified the BIOS. Booting into safe mode is working correctly. I’ve attached a video demonstrating the issue. Here are the details: CPU: Intel Core i7-12700KF 3.6 GHz 12-core Processor CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 240 56.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASRock B660M Pro RS Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Aegis 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVMe SSD Video Card: Inno3D Twin X2 GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Power Supply: Gigabyte UD750GM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy0-OsP29c
Hello. The ability to start in safe mode indicates there’s likely something running beyond the standard drivers. However, this might also stem from increased power consumption, so the power supply unit isn’t immediately ruled out. The main focus should be on the GPU. In safe mode, remove the GPU drivers, turn off the PC, open it, extract the GPU, reinsert it, and restart in normal mode. You should see a low-resolution display similar to safe mode, though briefly. If you can progress further into diagnostics, it’s likely the GPU or PSU is involved. Reinstall drivers after reseating the GPU could help. The PSU might be overloading, so inspect your cables for proper connection and tight fit. You may need to test with a different PSU or GPU to confirm. If the issue persists, consider swapping components—an 850W unit should suffice unless you have spares. Upgrading to an 80+ Gold PSU could be more economical than replacing it. For the GPU, testing with another unit (after removing drivers) or borrowing a friend’s card might provide clarity. Stay patient and avoid getting discouraged.
