PC randomly rebooting

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

I managed to solve the issue by replacing the power supply, which turned out to be faulty.

Recently I have been experiencing power issues on my computer, where my PC will reboot when using Google Chrome, Steam, or any other programs.


Previously it was just my Steam games that were affected by rebooting, as some of my Steam games rebooted whilst I was in-game. Steam games ran fine whilst in Safe Mode, so I assumed it was not a hardware issue, but rather a software issue. I ran a virus scan, and did not found any viruses. I had checked my background processes, but I couldn't find any suspicious programs running. I reinstalled my Geforce graphics driver. 


Now, even in Safe Mode, my PC reboots when using any programs, preventing me from using my computer at all. 


Here is my PC build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/MBWfD3


I would greatly appreciate any feedback and help with getting my PC to stop rebooting.
