My custom built desktop has been broken for almost a year now, and throughout this year I've been getting RMA replacements in an attempt to fix it. It is at the point where it is almost a brand new computer, and I have no clue what to do next. It worked fine for around 9 months before I started having any problems. I brought it into a local repair shop and they haven't been able to help me with it either.
The reboot seems to be hardware related, as the computer completely turns off before coming back on. All of the lights go off and it turns off instantly, with no information given.
Every time I completely refresh the computer, it takes a while before the rebooting starts happening again, but once it does, it gets stuck rebooting so frequently, it's hard to keep it on long enough to check anything software related. It will get stuck in rebooting cycles where it can't fully start up.
Here is a list of the components in this computer:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500
Motherboard: MSI Z170-A PRO
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
Hard Drive: Seagate ST1000DX001 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+
Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650W
Optical Drive: LG - WH16NS40
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
I have RMA replaced the CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Video Card, and Power Supply, and I've temporarily removed every non-vital component to check if it would still reboot, and it did. I have removed the Hard Drive and put in an SSD temporarily as well, and both drives have been completely wiped and had fresh Windows installations many times. The wires were not replaced with the power supply RMA, so all of the wires are still the same. I have moved houses since the issue started occurring, so I can most likely say it is not an issue with the power outlet. No other computers plugged into the same outlets have had any issues.
