Computer Keeps Restarting

[JayLikesMedia]

Hello,

 

I built a computer two days ago and went through the process of setting up Windows. I go about my business, setting up my email in Chrome, and the bloody thing blue screens and resets. I open it up, move about some cables and switch my EVGA 550W psu to eco mode, and all is well until after 15minutes of playing MA2, it blue screens again. I know its more than likely the PSU, but maybe you lads have a bit of input, yeah? 

 

My core components: 

Ryzen 1400 

ASUS ROG RX480 8GB

8GB(2x4GB) DDR4 2133 RAM

1TB HDD

EVGA 550W +80 Gold PSU

 

Thanks, much.

What PSU is it exactly? have you tried a different one?

See if electricity in the socket you plugged the is okay or the electricity is enough

I had this problem until my psu died. PSU was evga nex 750g. So if that's a nex 550g, then it could very well be that.
Edit. I see you mention it's blue screening. Is your cpu overclocked?

There's no NEX 550G. OP either has a G2 or GS, I believe.

At this point I wish you had a different GPU to test with because it sounds like a GPU issue to me. That said, do you have another desktop you can swap various hardware with to test parts in this system?

 

For the record, if the PSU is failing the system usually doesn't get past the desktop wallpaper, or at least stays there for no more than 10 seconds before shutting off.

My system would randomly restart for about 3 months before the psu failed. It could be running for hours or running for 5 minz.

I've had a few PSUs fail and they all usually fail in the same matter. They boot, but only barely, resulting in a BSOD and restart. The only solution would be to take load off of the PSU, either by removing desktop hard drives or GPUs or the like. That might be OP's problem but we don't know.

Can you not provide the blue screen code that you receive when it pops up?

 

Like IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL or something... or even the hex code error that may be provided ie. 0x0000000000 ?

 

This would usually point to the culprit. Like a driver or memory or something.

 

In my personal experience a failing PSU alongside a heavier GFX card would usually simply crash the display driver and go black or just shut off the machine completely rebooting.
