Random reboots

Relufsus · August 3, 2015

Hello. I've been having problems for about 4months now. My computer randomly shuts down and reboots. I just bought new ram and psu since I've had similar problems a few years ago caused by those components. After I replaced them it seemed like it was working. Ran stability test on all components for about 2days. No reboots no nothing. However about a week after it started again. Don't really know what to look for anymore. Temps never go above 65C on any components

Specs are:

i7 2600(non k)

Gigabyte g1 760

16gig vengeance pro

Pz77 lk mobo

Evga supernova g2 750

530series ssd

WD black storage drive

Anything would be helpful.

Thanks

Hey Relufsus,

Have you done any OCing on any of the parts? Have you made sure that all the drivers and the OS have the latest updates? Is anything hitting 100% usage? I'd check the Windows error log and see what's the cause of the reboot. It may be the motherboard, but it'll take some testing to figure that out. I'd try taking out all the components and leave only one stick of memory, the CPU, PSU and the boot drive and see if it's running properly. If it does, start adding parts one by one and see which one causes the problems. I'd also test the memory if it's running properly and if there are any memory leaks. Here's some info on that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms859408.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I wouldn't be a bad idea to test the storage drives and see if their health is OK. I'd recommend using the tools provided by the manufacturer. For the WD drive that would be WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=K5CHcW
