Computer Randomly Reboots into Loop Pls Help

asdf2061 · October 23, 2016

My computer has recently just started randomly rebooting into these reboot loops that just occur randomly. (Actually sometimes they occur when I crank up the settings on a game or run a stress test). I've tried everything but I still haven't found a answer.

Things I've tried:

1. Cleared CMOS

2. Re-installed Windows

3. Re-formmated my boot drive

4. Tried both of my RAM sticks by themselves

5. Changed the RAM slots from 2 - 4 to 1 - 3

6. Unplugged GPU

7. Unplugged my case fans

8. Took out the case power/reset pins

9. Tried Installing Ubuntu

My computer did update its BIOS by itself but I, as stated above, reverted it back.

please help

Whats cooling your CPU? Sounds like it shutting itself off due to heat. I've had the problem when I forget to plug in my pump for my AIO.

Check for shorts on the mobo board standoffs. I saw a post recently where a guy had a broken stand off and was shorting the mobo

Try stuff with the CPU, I think it´s probably where the problem is...

Take it out, clean the thermal paste, check for bent pins, install it and make sure everything is well seated, then make sure you install thermal paste and the cooler correctly and try again! good luck

I'm currently using an i3-6300 with the stock cooler.

Also, event viewer only states "The computer shut down without warning" and did not give any insightful info.

EDIT: AIDA64 says my CPU hovers around 85 degrees F during games and load. Is that normal?
