3 year old PC rebooting at random without error messages or blue screen (detailed info)

When did it start and other problems

My 3-year-old PC has been acting weirdly recently. First, it got weird graphic glitches that have been here since February I think, but that seems to have been solved with my very recent Windows reset (yesterday).

 

Recent Reboot.

Ever since a couple of weeks ago, my PC has been rebooting out of nowhere. No error message on Mobo, no blue screen, not under load, just a force reset when browsing or doing anything.

 

Troubleshooting

I have reset windows, reinstalled all drivers including BIOS, installed a new CPU cooler (it was too hot for comfort with the stock cooler).

 

What to do now?

I believe that this makes me think it is a hardware problem? I recently changed case and have now, today after my most recent crash, unplugged my Case power button if that maybe was the problem.

If this doesn't help I want help with what hardware that could be causing this. Here are my thoughts:

  1. PSU, mine is 3 years old and only 80+ standard (check specs below)

  2. Motherboard, it did get some cables stuck under it and might maybe (very unlikely) have scratched the underside of it?

  3. Malfunctioning Graphics card. I have recently had trouble with 2 monitors but it seems odd to have this caused a forced restart of the PC

Help

Do you think I got this right, or do you have any other suggestions on what could be the cause of this force restarting issue?

I got random reboots from overclocking my FCLK, so a bad graphics card might make it reboot if it crashes completely. It might not be able to display a blue screen if the graphics card crashed and just reboots. Try looking up "reliability monitor" in the start menu and see if there have been any recent windows/hardware errors and you might be able to figure out the problem.

Thanks for the fast response! but where do I find the "reliability monitor". I searched in the start menu and nothing showed up?

I don't think a program would cause your whole computer to reboot w/o a bluescreen. Try looking at the technical details for the "Windows was not properly shut down" events.

yeah i now noticed that when the system crashed it left no program crashes. the only message as shown here: and it only sayd that windows was not properly shut down with noi given info on why. Does this make you think it must hardware? (pic further down, for some reason it didnt come through)

Probably, although when I was getting crashes, there was a report that said "Hardware Error".

Yeah it's not a great unit. In the tier list it's only recommended for low end iGPU systems.

 

Can you list the rest of your specs, maybe edit your first post (I'm not going to click that link)

You can try reseating your components and maybe wiping off their traces before trying replacement.
