[SOLVED] PC Restarts no BSOD

[maranc98]

PC specs:
PSU: Corsair TX750M
MB: asus p8h61 r2.0
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870
RAM: 8gb

I've been gaming with this setup for 6-7 years now, and I've never had to fix anything hardware-wise, until recently my pc restarted while i was playing and it hasn't been the same since...

The issue: Whenever i try to turn the pc on it will restart without BOSD at any time. The rare times i'm able to boot up to windows it will restart after a while, and then keep restarting at the asus screen, before i'm even able to open up the bios.

I've tried using one ram at a time and changing the psu, but nothing changed.
Also I've logged the sensors data up until the system restart and they dont seem to show singns of overheating.
One of the few times i got to boot up to windows i managed to get to the event viewer and the critical error that showed up often, due to the restarts, is "critical - kernel power".

I don't know how to test which part of my pc might be causing the hardware, and have no clue where to start... any help would be immensely appreciated!

That sounds like an issue with thermals of power delivery. Since your thermals are good, i think your psu might have died.

Yeah, i thought the same thing, so I bought a new one, but nothing changed...

Hmmm. Your motherboard would be the next suspect. I wouldnt know how to test it since the pc doesnt boot.

The pc can boot, but it's pretty rare... I'd be willing to test the mobo if that chance arises but im not sure how to do that

look at the motherboard to see if there are any swollen or popped caps

I had sudden restarts recently and a Windows Update related to either the October update or Intel microcode fixed it. Windows installed both, so I can’t say for sure which one fixed it, but my restarts went away afterward. Check for updates.

They all look fine
