I built my pc about 6 months ago and it has been running like a champ until today. While playing a game the pc restarted itself with no BSOD and no indication of any errors. Thinking the game may have caused the abrupt restart I launched a hardware monitor to track my temps and started the game again. Surely enough the pc restarted again but my temps were fine at less that 60C for both the GPU and CPU. After the pc turned itself back on again I started checking on the web if anyone else had experienced the same issue whilst playing the game. During my browsing the pc restarted again and began a cycle of restarting with increasingly short intervals between the restarts. Now the system doesn't even get me into the login screen before it restarts. Before I take everything apart I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what is causing the issue. I'll include my specs below...
Case: Thermaltake Core V1
CPU: Pentium G3258 (stock clock)
CPU Cooler: Artic Freezer Pro 7 rev. 2
GPU: EVGA 750ti FTW edition
Mobo: MSI Z87i AC
RAM: 1 x 8gb gskill ripjaws x 1333mhz
PSU: Corsair RM450
SSD: Crucial M500 240GB
I don't know if this will be relevant but whenever I tried overcooking my CPU (either manually or through OC genie) my computer would do the same thing with the incrementally faster restarting. During this incident my CPU was running at stock clocks and it has been for a few months.
Update: I think I may have been as simple as a loose power cable. I reinserted all the psu cables and the system seems to working. I hope it'll be as simple as that.
