I just built a new computer and I'm having issues with random restarts. The computer ran fine the first day but my ATX 4 pin cable from my PSU was a little bit short so I added an extension cable. This is when I started noticing the restarts. I figured I had gotten a bad cable. I removed it and began running my computer again and then my pc restarted again. Pretty lost as to what the issue was this time.
I tried double checking everything on my PC as well as my BIOS settings. I tried running my comp again the next day and it stayed on and ran beautifully. I figured it must have been something with the BIOS not being flashed after running the extension cable. I don't know.
Later that night my girlfriend gets home and I'm on my PC, it restarts. I turn around and she had turned on the window portable air conditioner.
I wanted to see if it did it again when the compressor turned on and sure enough, it did.
So what can I do to prevent this? It's not tripping the circuit in the room or the surge protector. Just causing my PC to restart.
Specs:
Diablotech 600w PSU
AMD FX 8350 (running cool)
ASUS M5a97 LE R2.0
ASUS Radeon 7750
120 GB Corsair SSD
1 TB Seagate Sata HD
