Hey Guys,
I need your help with this. My computer recent been acting like a jerk
Restarting randomly when I am in the middle of a game or sometimes a movie... Sometimes even during idle, it will restart...
Now, I have read a few of other thread regarding random restart, most of them is due to heat. So after reading that, I opened up my comp and do some cleaning (wipe the dust away, didn't have a can of air at that time). It was working fine for about 2-3 weeks then it started again. I looked inside, it still looks clean so dust clogging is definitely out...
Lately, coming from a cold boot (power on after 3 days being OFF) it would restart itself during POST...
Even worse, it wouldn't even do anything when I pressed on power button occasionally.
In all this, sometimes I hear a single beep sometimes I hear nothing...
What do you think?
PSU dying? I only had this comp for ~1 year
Overheating? the max temp I've seen is 50C but it didn't restart so I thought thats fine
Help me guys... I am that close to beating the capacitors out of this comp...
EDIT: the PSU I have is below in my sig, it should be a pretty good PSU... Also, my comp is not OC'ed
