Hey again. I tried it but it keeps rebooting a few minutes while using it. Someone said that i need to replace the thermal compound because it might be overheating should i? 

 

I have a z5 deepcool thermal compound that u recently bought and put it there. A few months ago like 3 or 4

Is it only rebooting with this power supply?

It reboots? Like what happens? Does your monitor just turn off and then it reboots and it gives you the "windows didn't shut down properly" thing?

 

When my PSU gets too dusty, it gets overwhelmed easier and just shuts off so I clean it every once in a while so nothing happens. Yesterday, I pretty much just went up close to my PSU and blew into it and then my PC stopped shutting down.

It suddenly goes to the bios and boots again

What the heck? Can you be a little more specific? So you're playing a game or something and then it all of a sudden boots to BIOS, then boots again?

that sounds really weird... if there aren't any overclocks to dial back and you aren't having thermal problems, i would suggest asking @jonnyGURU

Is that under load or while idle? If it's 61C while idle then something is likely wrong. Run Aida64s built in stress test and monitor the CPU temperatures and see how hot it gets under load. It might be shutting down due to thermal limits when you're playing games and putting a load on the CPU.

Also go through and check all the power cables are plugged in correctly to the motherboard and graphics card.

I see, i just replaced the thermal compound using deepcool z5. The temp rises to 70 on nothing but browsing ans when gaming it goes to 80 and shutsdown. I guess the thermal compound is bad? I might get a coolermaster thermal. Compound tomorrow if thats the case
