I need help, my computer keeps turning off and has been doing so for about the past year. However, it doesn't actually completely turn off, it's more like it goes into hibernation, because the display and sound turns off, but the PC just quiets down alot and is still on, but the sound and display is not working. Like the LEDS and FANs and everything are still on but its much more quiet than when the PC is fully up and running. If I wait long enough though it will restart itself and turn back on, but this is very random and therefore I cannot notice a pattern. Sometimes it can take 10 minutes to restart, sometimes 2 hours. Also, when my PC turns off, the main thing I noticed is that to restart it I can't just hold the power button, as it remains still on so I have to switch the power off at the back of the PC, unplug the cord, wait 5 secs, then plug back in and switch on. I have to literally do this every time to restart my PC and it's getting annoying. I have already tested the CPU, MOBO and RAM by swapping it with my mates that work absolutely fine in his PC. The problem remained when I used his parts so that eliminates those three parts. The only parts that could be causing this problem is the PSU, SSD/Windows 10 or the GPU. I personally think its either the SSD or PSU mainly, but I really need some tips. I'll eventually spend money on one of these components, but I want to make sure I don't waste my money before doing so. Any ideas fam??? Please help, thank you!
