PC Randomly turning off

[Luke Jackson]

Hi guys,

 

So Ive started having some problems with my pc recently.

 

It turns on fine, but after a bit of browsing or gaming, it randomly shuts off and then enters a boot loop. It powers on and off constantly every 3 or so seconds whilst this is going on. It goes through periods of not doing this at all, then (like now) doing it constantly. Ive stripped my pc down and built it back up numerous times and everything is connected and seated fine. Im a bit stumped as to what it could be.

any debug lights or places with post codes? if you have the option, swap cpu and ram

Im not too sure to be honest with you @eeeee1, Both sticks of ram are fine as ive tested them in a secondary system, the CPU I will have to check but it seems to work fine. Im worried its a PSU or MOBO issue.

that is possible. if your pc is powering on, your psu should be fine. if it is just looping there might be a problem with your mobo.

Ill see if I can source an intel board from somewhere to do some troubleshooting and see how that goes. Cheers for your replies mate
