PC reboots itself...

[qkrzazzang]

I don't know why but it has been starting to reboot randomly (twice a week in average?)... I checked viruses. I checked the temps and they were good. What's the problem...?

try doing a gpu and cpu stress test to use alot of power and see if that takes it down

How do you do that? I think the cpu is fine since I'm not overclocking it yet.

Give us more information. When this is happening ?  And what are your PC specs ?

run this it should max out your gpu.

So, do I just let this run until pc shuts?

It really shuts off randomly, but it seems to occur when the game is on. However, it's a 2D game that barely has to do with graphics card with low resolution. 

These are my PC specs:

 

Case: 750D

CPU: 4930k

CPU cooler: H100i

Graphics Card: Evga GTX 780Ti superclocked with ACX cooler

Mobo: Asus IV Rampage Black Edition

ram: 32gb G. Skill Trident X 1866MHz

PSU: Corsair HX 1050

Xonar STX Sound card

LED Lighting

2 Samsung SSDS

It happens when my CPU isn't overclocked, so I don't think it's CPU problem, but I will do the GPU stress test about now and see what happens.

So, this is what I got.

 

FPS: 69.8

Score: 2921

Min FPS: 24.6 

Max FPS: 130.6

 

Settings:

Render: Direct3D11

Mode: 1920x1080 8xAA fullscreen

Preset: Extreme HD

 

So, does it mean that the graphics card is fine?

those scores look good for a 780 ti.  The idea was to push the gpu to its maxc too see if it would crash or cut out.  it looks like its not a gpu or power issue if it did not happen during the test.  

 

see what other options are floating about.  it may be os related.

 

What do you mean by reboot? bluescreen/crash or just be at the login screen when you come back to it? (Windows update)

Have you check your event viewer log to see if there are any errors?  Your PC could be set to reset when an error occurs.

The computer just shuts off entirely. Then few seconds later, it restarts on its own.

How do you check that?

Once it's open, on the right you'll see different sections, you want to check the one named "Windows Logs", and under that you can check "System" and "Application".

I'm sort of clueless about this...

About how to open the event viewer, or about what you are looking for in the logs?    If is the second you are looking for any lines with a big red X or a Yellow !   You need to compare the time when those marked events happen, and see if they match the moment your PC shutdown.

Ok so under system, I was able to find the log when my pc was shut down, and the description also says that there was an unexpected shut down, but it doesn't describe why.. In detail section, it just shows bunch of codes, like binary data, which I have no idea about.

Can you copy and paste the text?

The operating system is shutting down at system time 2014-02-05 6:43:45PM

There is another one:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

and this happened at 2/5/2014 6:45:12 PM

I meant the other stuff. 

[AfroStorm]

Have you checked your startup folder for a batch file that would restart the computer after a certain amount of time? You can always run shutdown /a , in the command prompt to cancel any shutdown comand.

"Unable to abort the system shutdown because no shutdown was in progress.(1116)    I got this when I tried the command. Could you help me on how to get to the startup folder? And what to exactly do after?... I'm so bad with software..
