Random Reboots because of CPU

[alexsivef]

Hi, my computers been rebooting and I finally figured out what it was-my cpu. I was taking a fan out my pc started having problems when I put it back in and tried to start it back up. First my PC would turn on but I got nothing on the screen so I reset CMOS. Then the reboots started to happen, I would be on my pc for about ten minutes and then it would restart. I have a slow mode switch on my pc and it ran in that, but never past ten minutes in regular speed. After testing everything in my PC I switched out my CPUs and now everything seems to be stable. My question is, is there anyway I can fix it or is it just done for good?

I believe that the PSU is responsible. If your cpu fails it surely would not work at all. If fact, putting a lower TDP CPU is better.

What psu do you have and how old is it?
