So i tried everything to keep my pc from random rebooting.

It was :

Replacing every single component except CPU(Processor)

But it still keeps rebooting.

Just want to ask you a quick question

If there is a lil bit of thermal paste or any Dirt substance on cpu pins ?

Can it cause this?

Note: The reboot is like someone plugged pc out from wall and replugged it

What are your current system specs ?

does this happen under load or anytime?

It depends what paste you use, some are, some aren't.
Dirt/dust can be also conductive as dust round the house is mostly human skin and hair which can conduct electricity.

If you have dirt down there definitely give it a blast of air.
If you have paste down there its more difficult to clean, LGA sockets are a total nightmare to clean without damaging them.


Outside of that when it reboots what actually happens, does the PC fully power off/back on?  Or does it stay on, but just resets?

The PC just power off fully and thes restarts

 

Also can it be due to faulty power chord?

Try a different electrical output if you want to test. Have you replaced the PSU?

Power cord is possible that its expanding in the heat causing a short, but usually this would be a more catastrophic failure as you would be shorting out the main supply, which would hopefully trip your breaker/rcd/whatever.
Or its expanding disconnecting it from a terminal.

I find it unlikely, as in both cases it wouldn't normally just turn straight back on after.

I would more likely say power supply, but if you have already replaced it then it seems unlikely
