Your CPU is still satki.
Just upgrade GPU and buy another 4GB of RAM and get an SSD and your PC will be sexy.

Also can get new better Monitor.

For my case is there any recommendation for which GPU to take? How about RAM any specific models? Thanks for the suggestions!

I did replace my previous GPU with this a year ago. Does this have to do with motherboard issue? As the keyboard also loses response when the screen went off. Thank you!

I have not tested the onboard graphic though but i believe it should work (i'll test it when i have time). No spare cables on my end i re-sitted my GPU and RAM but still have this same problem. Any suggestions what can be done next? Thanks!

If u have budget, replace the graphics card and PSU first. It should not restart.... Then don't need waste 1.7k if everything else works
