PC was working fine until the other day, when i had to force restart it.
Now it keeps on restarting whenever I try to turn it on the normal way (I'll get to that in a second).

Before the force restart I had windows 10 installed in it; after the tragic day whenever it had the windows logo showing up while booting it kept restarting.
That's when I decided to install linux mint, throw the usb in, works fine.
Install it, no problem.
Load the OS for the first time, apparently no issues, 5 minutes later it restart by itself.

now, I've swapped the SSD for a new one and the problem persists, I've updated the BIOS as well, got a quick clean on the setup but nothing seems to do the trick.

The part I find the weirdest is that it works fine on the linux stick, but whenever i run the installed OS it keeps on breaking.

Any idea what the problem is? I've never really heard of anything like it so any suggestions are welcome
