[SOLVED] PC shuts down and turns on immediately up to 5 times a day.

[bufer]

My PC just shuts down itself and back on and off and on..... up to 5 times constantly.
event viewer shows kernel-power and distributedCOM errors.
I think either the PSU or motherboard is faulty, maybe both.

I tried OCCT vga/psu test and it turned off after 10 minutes.
It did not crash but turned off. like in this pic.

My specs:
gtx 1060 3gb
FSP Hydro GE 550W
Gigabyte Z370P D3
2x8 DDR4 RAM

Is 550 watt not enough or it has just gone bad.
Should I buy a new PSU?

Thank you in advance.

Hey there,

Yes, it points to your PSU. Your PSU is a solid one as far as I can see. That doesn't mean it won't fail, or isn't failing. You could bring to a local repair store, and get them to swap out PSU and test, to be sure. Then you can make a call on getting another. If the PSU is still under warranty, you could look at RMA'ing it.

Hi!

Thank you for your advice. I had the psu checked(12 days in 3 different PCs), turns out it's functioning perfectly.
The best option maybe to buy a new motherboard?

Most folks will try a PSU to rule that out before moving on to the mainboard, given your symptoms...

Your PSU is modular. It might be worth checking with new cables before going with the new mobo.
