My PC Keeps Randomly Restarting – Help!

-

Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with a major issue since I built my PC about six months ago. Initially, it would crash about once a week, but now I can’t even go 15 minutes without it restarting, usually when I’m running demanding tasks. I’ve tried a bunch of solutions, like reinstalling Windows, updating the BIOS, and even testing with Linux. To top it off, I replaced the GPU because it failed, along with swapping out the RAM, motherboard, CPU, PSU, and SSD – so basically, I have an entirely new system. The temperatures seem fine, but the crashes continue. I’m really at my wit’s end here!

Honestly, if you’ve replaced all the major components and it’s still crashing, it might be an issue with your setup rather than the hardware. What exactly are you doing when it crashes?

It sounds frustrating. Are you absolutely sure everything is assembled correctly? Sometimes even a small oversight in connections can cause all kinds of issues.

Have you tried plugging your PC into a different wall socket or taking it to a friend’s place? Sometimes the issue might be with the wiring in your house, not the PC itself.
