PC will restart randomly

Go to solution Solved by Achois,

So i downloaded CCleaner and i cleaned my part of dust, and made sure everything was connected correctly. i've been running my pc for a few hours now. playing all games. watching videos. seems fine now. thank you. i hope it stays this way. 

I've looked around the Forums and saw that some people have the same issue and it is mainly either overheating issue or a PSU problem. My PC will crash after a certain amount of time. whether i am gaming (BF4, WoW, LoL, etc.) or just surfing the web (youtube, netflix, facebook, etc.) I'm new to all this, so I am kinda of confused because i thought i bought a PSU with enough power. Do i need more? this was my first build with a help of a friend, we built it about 2 months ago never had any problems until about 4-5 days ago. Sorry if this is repeat of other posts, but when i looked at the other posts they seemed to have a lower PSU than mine in turn i don't really know how much power i need. 

 

My PC specs. 

 
 
and tempatures

 

CPU temp: 24°C -30°C

MB temp: 26°C

VRM temp: 37°C

PCH Core temp: 41°C

You should have enough power.

 

Make sure everything is plugged in and you have all the proper drivers installed

@Achois Welcome to the forum! :)

 

The PSU is fine, actually 1000W is more than enough for what you need. (1000W is going to be enough if you decide in the future to add an additional Titan Black)

Maybe your computer is infected with a virus or other malware that automatically shut down your computer. Download MalwareBytes and check if that's the problem or not.

Download CCleaner to clean up your computer a little bit (it will delete unnecessary stuff in your computer like the Temporary Files for example).
