A bit of background, I work as a system integrator for a living so am quite familiar with PC in normal cases.
This is my first time doing a custom PC housed inside a desk and it's consistently giving me this issue: it always restarts suddenly after a few minutes of use. Like someone pressed the reset button.
I have changed every component already and am at my wit's end so I seek the wisdom of the forum.
The table is fully made of wood, hanging on metal bars at the sides, spray painted black.
The components are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi (BIOS ver F60c)
Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
Cooler: Ryzen Wraith Prism
GPU: Galax RTX 2060 Super Gamer
RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury RGB 2 x 8 3600 MHz
SSD: Transcend MTE220S 256 GB NVMe
HDD: Toshiba 1 TB
PSU: Silverstone ET 650 W 80+ Gold + Custom Sleeved Cables
Only thing I can think of now is that I have the motherboard just sitting on the desk with no standoffs. Could that be the cause? I did it this way cause I thought wood would be fine. I have a rig in a cardboard box sitting inside without standoffs too.
Please educate me if you have insights to this problem thank you!!!
