Bad PSU or CPU

[davemaster84]

Hi people. I have had a recurrent problem with my PC, one day I decided to do cable management and I stretched too much my 24 pin cable, it resulted in a bad contact and I have to set it up to a certain position to make it work. That´s been from some years but lately as I tried o update windows 10 to the anniversary edition my PC turned off when it had to restart, I solved the problem by deactivating my overclock (dunnno why, but it worked). From that day until today everything was perfect, I played games, watched hours of movies and all fine, until windows had to install another update and it happened again. Since there is no physical movement of the cable I am not sure if that is the cause.

Could it be the CPU is failing and it is related to system updates? Or is it just the PSU cable messing when perhaps the CPU fan is at it's 100%

Thank you

CPU's rarely die from normal usage. PSU's however are much more common to die from normal usage. so yeah new PSU time
