Weird restart behavior
Weird restart behavior
I recently brought back an old gaming PC I assembled around 2012, hoping to play some newer games again. After two weeks of use, I thought about upgrading because the GTX 660ti isn’t really up to the task for GTA V. I purchased a used RX480 at a very low price and installed it, but strange things began to happen. Whenever I restart the PC before the usual process, the system shuts down completely—lights turn off, fans stop, and even the HDD seems to halt for a couple of seconds before rebooting. I’m not sure if this is normal. Should I be concerned? Everything else seems fine.
