Question Computer rebooting and I have unchecked Automatic restart but it reboots anyway

[hayley3]

I'm trying to figure out why my system is rebooting. I just updated the Nvidia graphics card yesterday but still my system is rebooting.

I have connected to APC power backup.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home, X64

Asus motherboard PRIME B360M-A (Cyberpower tower)

Processor Intel i7-8700 @3.20GHZ

I can't see the error codes because it simply reboots even though I have unchecked the Automatic Restart. TIA for any help!

Thank you....I'm looking in the event viewer and not sure what I'm looking at. I do have an error (not sure if that would cause a reboot) and a warning let me post it.

It's most likely a generic version as there's no label on the PSU.

5 years old generic psu.
test with a better psu?

Get a cheap digital psu tester and test its voltages. You can find plenty on Amazon.

If it is a generic PSU, I'll not risk my expensive components further with it. Get a gold rated tier 1 psu.

Sorry I'm moving, just saw your reply...The PSU is not 5 years old...I bought it and just opened the box 6 months ago and started using it.

Ok thanks, will get a tester and see how that goes.

If your PC keeps randomly rebooting then either your PSU is failing, not enought wattage for your hardware or your GPU or CPU is overheating.
