MyPc is turns for 5 0r 10 min then suddenly it turns for a sec and turns on automatically. I Used open hardware to check if voltage is going up and down but volatge is stable even at full cpu usage. My specs are i5 3470 8gb ddr3 ram gt 710 gpu and gaming mouse and keyboard. My psu is from circle ( u will not recognize the company for sure). Can anyone help me to find out why it is turning on and off then turns on. One more thing when it turns on again after turning off it works perfectly for hours of gaming. It just happens when i start my pc for 5 min then it turns off and after that it works fine

Psu is working fine i just bought it. My pc seems to work fine after turning back on. What should i do now?
even if you just bought it, if you are having trouble, try returning it for a replacement and see if you have the same problem.... if you don't have the same problem, at least you would know that the original psu was the problem. Good luck!

Hey 0me0 u were right psu was the problem i swapped it out with another psu and now pc doesnt turns off. Thanks for helping me out buddy 👍👍

Unfortunately, we're quite familiar with Circle PSUs around here. One of the most notorious purveyors of garbage re-labeled as power supply in India. A Corsair VS is actually a significant upgrade and that's something I rarely say.
