This is almost embarassing to admit, but the issue seems to have been a faulty reset button/header. Unplugged it and it's been running stable for over 2 weeks. What tipped me off was catching it reset in the BIOS with no drives or sticks attached. Not sure what could bhave caused it to...

Regarding your shutdown issue: locate the reset button header on your motherboard and remove it, then see if allows you to shut it down.

Tell me what you make of this: Got a another reset earlier while leaving it to play music and came back to a "Windows didn't load correctly" screen, and changed the voltage from auto (was .4 something) to .175 in BIOS. Ran chkdsk twice but never found a report in event viewer. Backed up all my...

I guess I'm a little confused as to why it was stable for up to 3 years and only recently has it began giving me troubles despite not overclocking or doing anything different than usual. Recently it was left running for a 3day stress test (what it was tested with I don't know) but somehow didn't...

Sounds like getting another motherboard solved your issue, ultimately? I replaced my motherboard with another of the exact same model and the reset issue persists. The place I bought it from didn't find anything abnormal with it from their tests it seems, either.

If the UPS isn't the issue, what could possibly remain? Aren't resets and the machine not posting a sign of faulty power? I made no changes to the power draw outside of when the machine turns off the screen/sleeps for the 3 years I've had this build. What software problem could possibly cause it...

Tried that, even with no other drives attached and booting from a windows usb stick, it still reset with a wall only connection.

6 days later and still no solid leads. Leaving the PC at the same shop running stress tests on a Linux nmve for 72 hours with my old UPS connected, reported no restarts the entire time. Completely unhelpful. Does nobody have any idea what could cause this at all? Am I going to just have to...

So basically there's no way an issue with the UPS , even if it's too weak, could trigger a restart or keep it from reaching post, then. I'm totally at a loss if that's the case, I've tried a brand new mobo and PSU along with testing two sets of RAM and have been assured the CPU is running fine...

I've been trying to diagnose an issue with my PC randomly resetting for about a month now--ive tested temps and internal components and swapped the PSU, RAM and mobo with no luck. With my options running out, I'm starting to suspect my old 480w Tripplite battery backup might be the culprit (took...

Ended up finding a USB stick to install Windows onto--with both my hard drives disconnected, the system reset while looking for my product key... doesn't seem likely the SSD or HDD are responsible either. I've taken my machine back to the repair place mentioned in my opening post alongside a 5...

Got it to post and boot to Windows, but it shortly resets just minutes into logging in, just like it did before switching out the mobo and PSU. I don't have a USB flash drive big enough to do a Windows bootable drive from. I don't even know what the issue is anymore and why it decides to...

Machine reset while I left it alone doing nothing but playing music. After getting back into windows to try and check event viewer, it reset twice, and now it won't post, nor can I turn it off with the power button. Tried unplugging the power pins to the GPU and unplugging the drives, but still...

Today I swapped the currently listed RAM sticks for 2 4gb sticks that I've been assured work correctly. The machine has been operating relatively normally before and after the swap. Waiting to see if it resets. Additional information: This morning, I turned on POST beep in my BIOS settings and...

PC has been randomly resetting all month, I'll be running image editing software or watching videos or just leaving it idle, and it will reset with the fans still spinning and the lights still on--no BSOD or any useful errors in Event Viewer. Sometimes the machine refuses to post after reset and...
