Hey pc users
For the last 10 days i had problems with my pc when i heavy game on it randomly restarts .
So i thought it was overheating problem .
I cleaned my pc components every bit and changed thermal paste for gpu and cpu .
Then my pc couldn't start at all .
Thought my psu is dead . But tested it with 20-24 pins and it worked .
Thought something wrong with motherboard power so started making tests .
Removed every component bit by bit with trying to power on but no luck until i removed cpu power and only 24 pin cable connected psu and motherboard started running .
Restored some components bit by bit to motherboard all worked (fans , gpu , cpu fan) all worked but when connected cpu power (8 pin at motherboard) it doesn't startup.and i have to remove cpu cable and remove and reattach the 24 pin cable to start again .
So now anyone figure is this a cpu or motherboard issue , is there a fix or i need to replace it .
My rig :
Msi Z170a gaming power
Intel core i7 6700k
Cooler master 650 w g80 bronze psu
Gigabyte gtx1080 windforce oc
2 x hyperx savage 2600 hz 8gb ram
