So recently i build a PC and after a month it starts to randomly restart without any blue screen or error as if the power were cut off.

The solution that i have tried:
1) Replacing power cable
2) Reapply thermal paste to my CPU and CPU cooler

I have tried running FurMark to stress test my graphic card and i'm pretty sure my GPU got no issue.

I'm suspecting that its either my PSU or motherboard thats causing the issue, but i dont have any spare PSU lying around to test.

Current problem i'm facing
1) During cold boot up, it will take 2 to 3 times of on/off before it manage to reach the BIOS and fully power up.
2) Randomly restart no matter what i'm doing, be it idling or watching youtube or gaming.

Anybody encountered the same issue and maybe know whats the possible cause?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: My desktop specs is to the right.

Try a different PSU first. If you purchased the components from sls, give the shop a call and see if they can help with diagnosis or lending you a spare PSU for testing.

This is the kind of hairtearing that happens with diy

Did you update bios to the latest stable (not beta) version?

Sent from Overpowered Phone Mark III using GAGT

yup i did, still same problem after doing so. has been happening for about a week before and after updating it.

One month. Try a different PSU first.

I got no spare PSU to try, but i tried running on high load like stress testing my CPU and GPU and my desktop did no restart or crush, so i assume my PSU will not likely be the problem here.

that might be something!

I just checked, from the PSU it "clicked" but was not all the way in. But its not filmsy, nonetheless i tried to push in as far as it can go.

Monitoring now, will report back again.

Your BSOD may not be showing because you might not have enabled the option to show. Refer to the link for the steps. Also ensure that your PC power plugs are not using the multiplug type, just to rule this out.

I've enabled the option. The symptoms is my power were totally cut off like switching off the power supply outlet, the fans and light were totally off for 1 or 2 secs before coming back on.

I've since tighten all my power cable from my PSU and so far everythings run fine. At least for yesterday.
