PC Auto Restarts

[Ikmal Izzat Johari]

My computer auto restarts sort of like brief lost in power. However it only happens when the PC is in idle. I've played AAA games for 12 hours straight and it never happens. Help please?

Sounds like the power supply might be misbehaving at low load. What is the brand and exact model of PSU in your PC?

It's Silverstone ST45SF-G as I'm using the Silverstone RVZ01 as the case

Looks like it should be a reasonably decent supply. If you have a Haswell-based build, you might want to try disabling C6-state power saving in the BIOS if you have not already done that.

It's been a few hours. For some reason the restart doesnt occur anymore. Ty man if it even happen again I'll make do with a new thread. Thanks saved me the money of buying a new PSU

yw.

The problem with Haswell and older PSU designs is that Haswell has tough load transient response requirements when its lowest-power sleep states are enabled. Your reboots/shutdowns at idle were likely due to your PSU not being able to cope with those. It is a fairly common problem and disabling C6 is usually all that is necessary to get around that without needing a new PSU.
