Computer Rebooting by itself. (Again)

so after reinstalling windows and reinstalling all my games and drivers, my computer decided to reboot itself a couple of days after. I have no doubts it is a hardware problem. I already checked the ram and it is placed where it is supposed to be in the right way. Is it the CPU or the MOBO? Plz help. dont want this rebooting itself when im doing something important for school.

Oh, sorry. I hope your problem gets fixed. It's too much to just "know" what the problem is. I suggest checking all of your cables first. and if there are no issues then I suggest unplugging each component and testing with older ones to see if that fixes the issue.

Right

 

OP, unless Windows is rebooting itself (which I doubt), the next step is to test with different parts. Try a different PSU first, then RAM, then GPU, then MOBO.

that psu seem sketchy you might want to experiment with a differnet psu, stress every component(all at once) in the system with aida64 and see how long it lasts

the first problem was actually the psu so I replaced it and it worked fine for 2 weeks before I had to reinstall windows.  the ram is good, its running above 1866. I think the problem is the cpu or video card.
