Hi,
I recently bought a new motherboard, RAM and CPU.
After installing these, my system randomly shuts off (as if the power cord was removed) and boots up on its own again.
This happens at random times, I can be playing games for hours or a whole day without any problem, and some times it happens twice in an hour.
It also shut down in idle state once, but my pc is rarely on in idle for very long.
What could this be? I have not overclocked anything, and using HW info, the temperatures seem to be fine (see image below)
Someone has suggested it could be the PSU, but as i have not had this problem ever before i upgraded, it seems unlikely to me that it would be the cause.
Edit: There is an orange LED always on at all times on the motherboard, tried figuring out what it indicates, but no luck.
I have also reset windows 10 today and updated the bios.
Specs:
MOBO: ASUS TUF B360-PRO GAMING
MOBO Replaced with Asus rog strix h370-f gaming
CPU: INTEL CORE I7-8700 3.20GHZ BOXED CPU with: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
RAM: 2x CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 16 GB 8 GB X 2 DDR4 2400 MHZ DIMM
RAM Replaced with: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 2666MHz 16GB
(this is on the QVL list for the motherboard) CMR16GX4M2A2666C16
GPU: ASUS DUAL GEFORCE GTX 1070 OC 8GB
PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 1000W PSU
Boot Drive: Intel® SSD 330 Series 180GB 2.5", 25nm
If any more info is needed, please let me know
