A month ago, my computer started randomly restarting. It would happen randomly; didn't matter if I was browsing the web or putting a heavy load on the CPU and GPU. The most it restarted was three times a day. Screen would turn black, fans would crank to the max for a couple seconds, and the computer started booting like nothing happened. Event viewer didn't help, neither did memory diagnostics, a full scan of the computer, and no weird temperatures or programs running. I thought it was a powersupply issue so I exercised the warranty. But then the restarting had stopped, but I still wanted to replace the powersupply, or at least figure out what was causing it.
When I got the new powersupply and put it in, the computer worked fine. After five minutes, it turned off. I couldn't turn it back on at all. If I flipped the switch on the powersupply off and then back on, I could press the power button once and the fan would spin for a split second. That was all. I put back the old powersupply and everything worked normally.
I don't know what to do right now. Do I return the new PSU and keep the old one? What is causing this issue? Is the random restarting going to come back? Does anybody have any answer to any of these issues?
