Curious what others think the problem may be. After a power surge which ended up killing a few other electronic devices, my computer randomly restarts. It happens infrequently, at first it was more common the restarts would occur in 4-24hrs but now it's closer to once or twice a week, it has even gone for a couple months without restarts, they usually occur while idle but has happened on occasion in use. Another problem that started to happen a month or so later is my mouse, will occasionally stop working for a couple secs at a time until I restart the computer. Other possible relevant details surge killed the power supply and was replaced, devices that were connected to the routers lan were affected and 2 ports on the router are now dead, including the one this computer used to be hooked too. There hasn't been any ethernet related issues however.
The power surge happened in August last year. The Issue overall is pretty minor since it doesn't happen often enough to be much of annoyance
My guess is the power surge messed with the motherboard but curious what others have to say.
Main reason I'm asking now. I was considering upgrading the graphics card but worried the problem of the computer could potentially negatively effect connected devices. So I wanted to see if I could sort it out.
My Computer
