HELP computer keeps restarting

[jaffa2309]

hey everyone i was  wondering if anyone might know that my issue is as my computer keeps restarting with no warning no blue screen no error, i have tried testing the ram, the storage, change from air cooler to an aio, and nothing is solving the issue, i am running AMD ryzen 9 3900x, 16 gb corsair vengeance pro rgb 3600mz, msi b550 gaming wifi, pailt geforce 1080, corsair cxf rgb 650w psu, i have also reinstalled windows 10 as well, any help would be appreciated as im at wits end

 

Edit this only happens under load eg playing games or running benchmarks

Can you see anything on the screen or when it goes to restart loop? Do you have 2 ram sticks? Did you try to use only one and see if the issue is ram? Did you install the same OS as you had before - if yes, then maybe try new version, because at this stage it could be anything HW.

I had a friend with this exact problem, it could be a multitude of issues but we replaced the PSU and all was well. - (After trying literally everything else first, including fresh Windows install)

i am running dual channel memory, i am also running the latest windows updates and there is nothing on screen when it restarts it just resets back to as if ive just turned it on

i am starting to think its the psu now i have tried changing everything else apart from that

Try the memory, one and then the other, if it is not this, then maybe motherboard, so try testing that, BUT to my mind also came it might be the psu as Cacoe suggested. I guess not everybody can just change PSU to see if that was the issue...

Whatever we did was a risk because we didn't have spare hardware, so when you're in that situation there isn't much other choice than to take the plunge. But I agree, try literally everything you can for free first.

I'm not sure more is necessarily required for your config, but it won't hurt. It's likely just dying. Running a similar config to you here with 650w and a 2080s no probs.

650w is more than enough for you, just make sure to get a quality unit. Have you already tried contacting Corsair? They might be able to replace/repair it for free

[jaffa2309]

im gonna go for the RM 850 watt cos it looks better quality 

 

[Im Jack...Help]

I had the exact same issue with super similar specs. Ryzen 2700x/GTX 1080/16GB 3000hrz/ and I want to say power supply was either 550w or 650w... I tried everything but in the end I swapped out my power supply and the issue disappeared entirely. I would definitely only buy a new PSU after you've tried everything else though. I used it as an opportunity to future proof my PC to be 3080 power ready...... now if only I could get one lol.

 

Good luck I wish you the best!

So its not the PSU. Maybe just use another graphics card, change motherboard or latest BIOS update?
