For the last year or so my computer will randomly restart (mostly) when I am playing games, (eg, League of Legends, Overwatch, Starbound) but it has happened when I am just using Microsoft Word. I have replaced everything except my cpu and motherboard because I don't have the money to do so and wanted to explore every other option first.
When the restarts happen the screen will usually go black or some other dark colour and then for a few seconds I can still hear and talk in teamspeak then the audio will just loop and then it finally restarts after about 10 seconds.
I have replaced the PSU, RAM, GPU, added extra fans, formatted windows 7, since upgraded to windows 10, fully cleaned the computer out physically, checked the temperatures (its not an overheating problem), checked the logs (nothing unusual there), updated bios.
Theres nothing I can do to successfully force it to happen either, sometimes it happens after a few minutes of playing sometimes it will go a week with no crashes so its a very slow process testing if anything has fixed it. Ive tried running games on the highest quality and the lowest and it has no effect.
My Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz
GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270X
PSU: Antec 620W
RAM: 4x 2GB Kingston DDR3
MB: ASUS M4A88T-M
HDD: 500GB Hitachi
