PC reboots all the time

[jaco45]

Hi. I upgraded my pc with a msi board i5 10th generation cpu and a new 2 tb hard drive. I am using a 550w power supply. My pc works fine for hours and then just reboots by itself. It then keeps rebooting 3 to 4 times and then works again. Could the current power supply which was not upgraded, be the cause?

1. Update your BIOS if required.
2. Check that all drivers have been updated.
3. Test the RAM memory.

Reboot is either overheat or supply rail voltage dropping

Check cpu and gpu temps - replqce paste if necessary
Run a stress test (prime64 in heat mode and / or cinebench in gpu mode) and see if it resets. If it does, change out psu

1) As @agentrfr mentioned check CPU heat paste and reseat the heatsink properly (it might not sit 100% atm)
2) Is the case getting enough air/circulation to it? Have seen PCs pick up issues like sucking hot air back into itself.
3) Is the Powersupply rated (ie. Gold or Silver rated) for it's delivery?
4) Reseat the RAM modules - they might be slightly loose or not in 100% (happened to me before).
5) Reset the BIOS to default settings (somewhere you might have selected a wrong value etc.).

What GPU are you running?

Also,

Any specific task it normally reboots on?

Thx. The ram is also new. Already check Bios and drivers. Thx

Hi all. At the end it was the PSU. Replaced and now all works fine. Thx for all the help.

Glad you got it sorted
