Starting today, my computer started to experience random restart issues. I custom-built it in January, so all of the parts are new, and it's worked fine up until now. Nothing special happened today (that I can identify) to trigger it.
Event Viewer logs don't seem to indicate much (other than vague critical error), and I started monitoring CPU/GPU temperatures, though they seem to chill around 50-60 degrees consistently. I also ran a Windows Defender scan, as well as Malwarebytes, and both showed no viruses.
What's weird is that I could use my computer for about 15 minutes between restarts, and then it got more and more common, until it was stuck in a restart loop. This brought me to the "Windows did not start properly" screen with all the troubleshooting options, and I'm not sure if this is indicative of a software problem or just the result of Windows restarting a bunch of times without success (does anybody know the answer to this?)
After this loop, I shut down my computer, left it for a few minutes, then restarted it. I was able to get a couple hours of mileage, before it started to restart again. I shut it down, opened it up, made sure all the wires were connected tightly, and then it ran for a while longer... before it restarted again. Not sure where to go from here because I'm not really a computer expert, and any help with diagnosis would be appreciated.
