Desktop automatic restart

[sambuca]

My 1 year old desktop keeps restarting suddenly every 10-30mins.
What are the possible causes? PSU? Ram? Fans seem working fine to me.
Want to troubleshoot myself but not sure how.

Check the RAM by doing a Memtest.

I had this problem before with my old rig and it turned out that the mobo was causing it.. and yes it was a year old that time as well..

my possible theory conclusion is

1) The place where your computer is, is very dusty. Your PC is overheating due to intake/heatsink being clogged by dust. (open your case and have a look)

2) Your power supplying your PC is causing damage to your Mobo/PSU. If you are using your old PSU from the previous motherboard it could be that its not delivering proper voltage(voltage spikes) and causing damage to your motherboard/components.

I'm just giving a theory.

And possible that RAM could be the cause too.
