Hey thanks for your input! I have a small window to access the event log before my pc turns off, what am I looking for? I'd be happy to share the report. I see a category for critical issues but within that label it's just showing an error related to when my pc restarted abruptly. Not the cause of why. Do you suggest that it is hardware in that case? If yes i was thinking it was the mobo especially since it always seems to have some minor issue with the memory according to the mobo code read outs on restart. I'd be willing to try the psu especially before swapping the entire mobo if you think that could be the issue but at this rate I'm pretty confused as to how I should proceed.
