Troubleshooting Random Reboot

Hi LTT community,

 

So for a while now my PC would randomly crash and shutdown before rebooting itself. Upon reboot I get a A2 error code (should be something to do with my drives) but it continues to boot into windows anyways and appears fine. Sometimes it will shut off again and other times it will be fine for hours before having another episode. Initial research into the problem suggests its a power issue but my PSU seems to have a decent review being 80+ gold and 750W should be enough for my uses (no OC). Recently the intervals between when it randomly shuts off is occurring more frequently.

 

The question is, where should I being troubleshooting? Should I see if the drives is causing the crash or get a new PSU and see if that stabilizes it? Or does anyone have any other insight i'm missing over?

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

- Phil
