Question Motherboard Upgrade

[ryasis]

I am having an issue where the PC is randomly losing power...... it's just off. No log no nothing. I have already replaced the Power Supply, but I feel it may be the Motherboard. I currently have an ASRock Z370 Extreme 4. Well, I can't find the same motherboard for a good price when it would be more economical to just upgrade it. Would a direct upgrade to a z390 be easier? Because I am scared of a compatibility issue with using a different brand/Manufacturer.

It wouldn't matter.

It wouldn't matter.

Wouldnt matter as in either way I would need to reinstall the OS? or Either way it doesn't matter what MOBO you upgrade too?

The motherboard upgrade, it shouldn't matter if you get a board from a different brand or z370/z390, as long as everything else is the same the computer and os won't even notice.

Check temperatures for cpu and gpu.
Could be thermal shutdown.

BTW - what are full specs of your pc? (include precise psu model name)
Insufficient wattage psu can also cause shutdown.

True, that is very indicative of both thermal shutdowns, but if that were the case the pc would first ramp the fans as high as theyll go.
Insufficent wattage could very much also be the case.

I thought so to, but I get a shutdown at 38 Celsius
