Hi all,
Have decided to wipe Windows 10 due to the issues running old games and putting Win 7 back on this system.
Now my problem i'm having are..
Computer will randomly restart itself this can be just after initial post screen comes up or a few minutes after getting into the OS.
I have had artifact looking issues come up on screen aswell so turned off my whole 200mhz overclock and turned off all unlocked cores from my 555 CPU. Since then this issue has happened far less but has still happened one more time with the whole screen artificating.
I considered perhaps it was he GPU hence why I decided to just do a new OS install and have taken any extras out GPU/DVD Rom etc.
The issue still persists.
All parts in the machine are second hand or used from my old machine the PSU I think might be at fault its a 500w off brand chinese job, I don't have a spare PSU to test with either.
Are there any other symptoms I have missed that can confirm its the PSU.
About a week ago the machine was running perfect with no issues. The PC has not been moved around or anything either just sits in the one place and it has little to no dust in it.
Cheers,
Bandit.
