Hello,
I recently put a computer together for my wife and it works so well i decided to put the same computer together for myself. I did the exact same build and steps putting it together but for some reason it started to reset itself at random points when online or opening an app that goes online...google, explorer, online video game etc. I used a windows 7 CD to install the OS. at first it only happened every so often but it seemed to increase when installing windows updates. I even did a couple clean installs of windows and tried to limit the updates but eventually windows snuck them in and I couldn't go online at all without the PC restarting. I'm at a loss.
I've tried taking my Geforce GTX 950 graphics card out to see if it would reset while only on the motherboard integrated graphics and it did...thought it might be the power supply so I got a higher watt new one but it still persisted. I unplugged everything and reinstalled it all, even the CPU ( with new thermal paste of course ) but no dice. I even went and updated to windows 10 in hopes that somehow that will fix the problem...it got worse. it started restarting and soon as I clicked on a program.
Well right now I'm doing another clean install of windows 7 after frantically figuring out how to get 10 off. I have a feeling the resetting will persist but will be manageable at first. Any help and insight will be greatly appreciated!
