PSU or CPU issues?

I am having hard boots at random. I am thinking it is either the PSU or GPU. Is there any way to test the PSU?  Thanks.

With the appropriate tools, sure. (Things like a multimeter and knowing what you're doing certainly helps, there are also some dedicated psu testing tools you can buy online but those are quite basic)

 

When you say "hard boot", you mean the computer just randomly reboots or it doesn't boot? 

 

If it doesn't boot, remove any unnecessary components(hard drives, disc drives, usb devices), use only 1 stick of RAM (try using a different RAM slot too). Remove GPU and see if it boots or not through onboard. If that didn't do it, remove the motherboard from the case and try again with the board onto a cardboard box, you may have an extra standoff installed that creates a short if it boots.

 

 

If it does boot but randomly restart, undo any overclock you may have done, reset BIOS to default settings and leave every on Auto. (Don't use XMP)

If things work from there, manually put back the timing of your RAM to what they should be, without using XMP.

I'm not the best at computers, but it might be drives. I'm pretty sure most of the work is done in either the CPU or storage. Open task manager when it boots and see what may be struggling.

If you mean its turning off randomly and its a hard boot up, Id assume a new build here, then Id say you are grounding something to the case (I.E. motherboard standoff touching back of mobo)

It's an old build that I am using until I get my new one built. It just shuts down i.e goes to a black screen and restart. There is nothing it the error dump logs so I am troubleshooting it because I was going to give the old part to a friend and wanted to make sure nothing was broken/  It is an Asus ROG Maxiums Code IX running an i7 7700k with 32gb of Corsair Dominator ddr4 ram and an RTX 2080ti FE.  With the history of some 2080ti cards that is going to be my first bet, the card I am keeping so if it is that it makes things simpler as I can wait for a replacement.   Thanks for the help folks.
