Not sure if this is posted in the righ place; please forgive me if I'm posted in the wrong category but I couldn't find an actual "help" category - and I need help.
My computer restarts randomly with gaps of anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes between restarts. Restarts happen even while in bios. Have already replaced RAM, power supply and power cord (and have tested wall outlet).
System Hardware is:
Intel i7-3770 processor,
Crucial 128 GB SSD
4x 4GB DDR3 1600 GHz Patriot RAM
Corsair TX 750W power supply
MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard
Nvidia GeForce 460 graphics card
After-market heat sink (air cooled)
Windows 7 OS.
Nothing ever over-clocked.
System worked flawlessly for over six months, then suddenly the restarts started earlier today.
BIOS reports CPU temperatures of 33 to 35 degrees C and motherboard temps of about 25 degrees C. BIOS reports all voltages within 5% of where they should be. CPUID hardware monitor program gives similar values, except +5v is about 0.7v high and +12v shows up as only about 8 volts (but have gotten those same values from CPUID for six months, across two different power supplies).
At my wits end, hoping someone out there has an answer. Please let me know if there's any other info I can supply to aid anyone that wants to advise me.
