HELP! PC rebooting itself!

[DGB]

So my pc started to reboot at first like 2 weeks ago. i thought it was the the psu, so i changed it and it worked fine. today though, my pc started rebooting by itself again. What might the problem be? here are the specs:

check if the RAM is properly on the motherboard. 

I had this problem.
and it was the RAM that was misplaced.

its a continuous loop of rebooting. its completely random when it happens

thats not good. essentially try to troubleshoot by removing component after component and than try it again.

 

this may help you:

1.) Is anything overclocked?

2.) Do you ever get blue screens of death?

3.) How sure are you that your front-panel-IO headers are connected properly? (e.g. the cable for the reset button on your case)

4.) Check Windows Event Viewer to see if there's any errors logged there from when it restarts

nothing is overclocked

not getting bsod's

all io is properly installed

will try to check event viewer if it decides not to crash

I would check to make sure all of the connections are secure, maybe check if there's overheating. it could be possible that a recently installed program could be causing this. Try to boot the computer from a different OS (via a bootable USB).

what is "Kernel-power" critical event on the viewer?

[Catbirby]

Okay, if you insert that, you can get access to the windows recovery, then maybe check for errors 

Edit: there might be another way to get into the windows recovery that I am not aware of.

It is the computer shutting down and turning back. its probably more of a hardware problem

If a computer does not shut down 'cleanly', e.g. when you yank the power cable out rather than shutting down, this Kernel-power 'event' will be logged the next time the computer boots.

 

Is your power cable tightly plugged in, not loose, and definitely working OK?

(Forums seemed to go down for me) I'd imagine that the error could be caused by either hardware or software, doing this can eliminate possibilities.

same over here

It is definetely a Graphics Card problem. when I ran Gmod at high settings and blew myself up inside a crapton of barrels, the lag was real and the gpu screamed like dying witch. (the computer has decided not to turn of for now...)

and the heat was way above normal

[DGB]

and even if itr is windows, what do i check for?

[Catbirby]

I'd imagine that if it was windows, it would be caused by a corrupt file, virus; something overloading the computer. Have you happened to check task manager also?
