And when it starts again it says that "windows has recovered from an error" and in the details of that error it says "bluescreen" (even that I never see that famous blue screen), what do u guys think its the thing that is provocking my PC to restart?
 


My specs are FX 8320E, R7 240 2GB (buying GTX 970 next week), Sentey 600W (bought a 600w evga 80+ few days ago)and a M5A78LM/USB3 , do I need to give more information? I really want this to get fixed :c
 
Can you go to the system event viewer and look under custom views -> administrative events, and look for "critical" events that correspond to the times which your PC restarts? And, copy the error codes? That should give some hint as to what's happening.

I dunno if it applies equally to AMD CPUs, but here's a BSOD code list for Intel chips:

How old or how much have you used the computer? If you have downloaded some sketchy programs, they could be infected... I have had that problem before and the only way i could fix it was reinstalling the OS, if you have not ever used your computer or it is a brand new OS, it is probably a hardware failure or something, if not i would do what Ecky said
