Try and see if you can use/try a 2nd PSU.

Posted

My mates PC keeps rebooting randomly, it then goes to the screen saying no cable connected, then the BIOS screen then automatic repair.

 

Specs:

- AMD Ryzen 5 2600

- 8GB RAM

- B450A-Pro

- 550W PSU

Here is a video of it happening: https://youtu.be/T6kuSOG82Tw

 

Steps I have tried:

- Reseat all Hardware

- Update BIOS

- Re-Install Windows

- Check Event Viewer; just shows Kernel-Power Critical messages

 

Please can anyone advice on what could be the issue? I am thinking it may be a hardware failure?
