New Build keeps rebooting after a few minutes

[JellyBurger676]

Hi all, 

I've recently built a PC from used components:

Ryzen 3 2200g

Gigabyte a320m-s2h

Crucial ballistix 2×4gb Ram

240gb integral SSD

250w AZZA SFX 80+ Bronze PSU. 

 

Once I downloaded Windows and then connect to Internet the PC reboots itself for no reason (monitor looses signal and then I see gigabyte logo and windows launches and so on). Sometimes the PC keeps restarting until I eventually i get a blue screen or no signal reaches the monitor. 

I tried installing a different version of Windows and the problem still persists - sometimes Windows install was also on a loop. 

I turned of automatic restart and this did nothing. 

I'm clueless and have no idea of what is happening and I appreciate any help you can give me. 

 

Thanks a lot

I'd start here. Get a better power supply

search "event viewer" go to system tab, check if any yellow or red notice in the logs.

Why is that the problem? I thought that 250w 80+ Bronze should be more than enough for the PC. 

 

[SupaKomputa]

250w is enough if you don't use any GPU.

But it's unknown if it's pure 250w or not.

@SupaKomputa

No there is no GPU and while It was quite cheap, it had 100% satisfaction with more than 1k sold on eBay. 

I've went on event viewer and I've seen multiple yellow and red signs.

hah, this is not a definition of quality. people use very low powered system for 250w sfx psu, so you can't count on that.

what are those reds and yellow?

Because your system, under load, could draw more power than the PSU can provide, causing it to reboot.

ebay feedback only indicates "hey, I got what I ordered"

no indication of actual quality, or if that PSU is actually pushing that rated wattage.

And as others have said, 250watts is laughable if you toss i a GPU down the road.

 

Start with a better PSU, and we'll take it from there

If your UEFI supports it, what CPU temps are you seeing in-BIOS?

Is it stable during the Windows 10 install?

Yeah I understand that but I thought others surely must have used more powered builds and left feedback after. No I'm not planning to add a gpu, this pc is solely for Internet browsing /watching movies etc. 

The yellow and red signs are different but most frequent ones are no permission for COM server app with CLSID, unexpected system shutdown, system rebooted without cleanly shutting down (critical).

@svmlegacy

When I saw it last time in bios (not during windows install it was no more than 40c)

Have you run Memtest86 on the system?

Did it successfully complete the Windows 10 installation?

I downloaded this and did something but I don't really know how to use this. Or what I'm supposed to do.

You'll need to put it on a bootable USB with a tool like Rufus, and run it for a pass or two

Ran the test, no errors. After a minute or two, lost signal in Windows the PC rebooted again

That's good then, it means your hardware is fine. You'll probably have to reinstall windows

But I've done that at least 5 times - I've also updated bios to newest version.

Can you try an Ubuntu live USB?
