Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums. Before we get to the issue, here's a very bare-bones summary of my build:
ASUS ROG Strix X-570E
AMD Ryzen 3950x, not over-clocked.
64GB RAM (2x32GB Sticks)
Nvidia RTX 3090
LG 27GN950-B 27-inch 4k Monitor with 1ms Response, 144Hz refresh, Nano IPS, G-Sync
Phanteks 1000w Gold-Rated PSU
Windows 10 Home
So, my custom build PC powers off frequently and reboots itself. I know it's not overheating (using MSI Afterburner to monitor). This is probably my 7th or 8th build in the past 15 years, so I have experience. I've had this build about 18 months or so, maybe a bit longer? Here's the weird details, though:
Any ideas? I've never run into this problem before. Usually if I have a bad/failing PSU, the computer would struggle to stay on, especially under a heavy load like RTX gaming.

- It only reboots itself right after I turn it on...it'll power down and reboot 2-4 times in a row all by itself.
- It'll reboot itself after waking up from sleep, again, 2-4 times in a row.
- When it reboots, it's not the "Windows is rebooting" cycle or an automatic update, it's almost as if it's losing power, like there's a short. I checked for shorts with a volt meter...nothing.
- RARELY, I'll get the "recovery mode" blue screen, asking me if I want to go into safe mode because my machine wasn't shut down properly. I just boot normally with no issues.
- Whenever I am actively using software, be it a graphically intensive game, word processor, browsing the internet, etc., it never reboots.
Any ideas? I've never run into this problem before. Usually if I have a bad/failing PSU, the computer would struggle to stay on, especially under a heavy load like RTX gaming.
