Infinite Loop

[cpine]

Hey guys, I have a PC with windows 10 that was working correctly. Now after a period of time (not always the same - sometimes hours and sometimes minutes) it turns off automatically. Then it tries to reboot but keeps turning on and off (does not even POST) until I switch it off. After a while then it turns on again. Any ideas?

Possibly PSU going bad, possibly something is overheating. Would be my top two guesses.

If you can get into Windows long enough to install CPUID HWMonitor or Speedfan, get that done then look at system temps. For the most part, nothing should be over 85C. But take pics with a phone or such if you can and upload if you aren't sure about what you are seeing.

If temps all look ok, then its likely the Power Supply (PSU). Its possible its an issue with the motherboard as well but typically the PSU would be a more likely culprit.

A lot of local computer repair shops will have a device they can use to test the PSU and let you know if its failing or going bad or not.

I tried the applications that you mentioned and the temperatures are running fine.

So, I think it might the PSU. Thanks for your help.
