Is my psu broken ?

[VladEusebiu]

So guys my pc restarts without a reason , i checked my event logs and here it's what i found

Critical : The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly

Log name : system
Source: Kernel-power
Event id : 41
Level : critical
user : System
OpCode: info

There's always a reason. Please list your detailed system specs....everything.

And how many watts is it?

So its a generic psu shaped object. I highly suggest replacing it with a good psu. Cant garantee its causing the current problems but its a very good possibility that it is.

Well it is 500w

The temperatures in the screenshot you posted look fine, if they are accurate. It's tough to diagnose such an old system, but your power supply is obviously a low quality unit and you could try replacing it first. A failing power supply is a common cause of random shutdowns. High temperatures can also cause this but yours look ok.

Ok , i will try to replace it and come back with a replay , thanks for help !

Those type of errors are almost always power related , with that no name type brand it should be replaced.

We can help you select a better quality power supply if you tell us where you're located and what your budget is.
