Question Occasional Reboots

[daddystabz]

My PC has recently started to occasionally reboot out of nowhere. I am not sure why this is happening. I have run hard drive defrags and scans for malware and things of that nature to no avail.

I have linked an image of my system temperatures, as recently my liquid cooling system failed and Microcenter installed a new heatsink and new fans instead of replacing the liquid cooling. https://ibb.co/jMr7cqn

I also have a few external hard drives hooked into the PC via USB into a hub.

Does anyone know of any good diagnostics I can run to try to get to the bottom of the issue, please?

These issues are often heat and/or power related. What are the specs for this system (make/model of all installed components)?

Temps look okay, by the way.

Please look inside the case and get the exact make/model of the PSU for us to look at.

I snapped a quick pic inside the case with my cell phone. Hopefully this is good enough to get the required info and thanks in advance for everything!

I suspect it is time for a new PSU. That one is both old and of dubious quality (when it was new). What is your budget for a replacement PSU?

I have been suspicious of the power supply for a while. I think I can afford a nice one, since power supplies are not one of the more expensive parts of a PC. I almost replaced it when my liquid cooling system failed last time I had any issues.

For your consideration (you don't need a 800w PSU):

Thank you very much for the recommendation! This looks good. Bookmarking this baby for my paycheck.

Fully in agreement with CG here. The PSU is not of good quality and it's just a really good idea to get that out of the mix. The one he recommended will serve you nicely for your next build as well, whenever that ends up being.
