My pc reboots itself can it be cause of overload?

[ReTiCuLeX]

My current comp is in my signature and while dl and uploading files on direct connect my pc reboots itself can this be because of my power supply is only 300watts? I have an 431watt enermax siting next to me I have tried it in this pc before but my plus 5 voltage was only 4.63 - 4.7 and my 3.3 was 3.1 so i went back to my pow max 300 wat which gives out +5.03 and +3.4 , but my pc is still rebooting itself. It doesn't happen like every hr on the hr but after i use it alot like say 4 hrs then I go dl sum stuff it will do this. Thanks in advance , I just wokeup if i dont make any sense let me know lol...

Does it reboot if you run heavy apps/games as well? If it only reboots when downloading and upoading it shouldn't be a PSU problem. Try running prime or sisoft sandra and see if it reboots, if it don't you may simply have an opsys problem.

(That 431watt Enermax is the same one I have, and it works wonders for me!)

Ive changed every part in this pc around 3 or 4 times and I mean everything! Yes in sisoft and games it reboots itself sumtimes.

Try giving it more voltage. The temps look quite cool, so that probably isnt the problem.

Looks like something is crapping out on you - I think the CPU needs more voltage, what are you giving it just now?

I assume this is a problem you have been strugling with for some time then... I had a similar problem ones, and it turned out to be an earth fault in one of the power sockets I connect my PSU. Allso make sure all you're peripherals are nice and tight, all the connectors correctly and well fastened etc.
Errors like these can be a bit*h to find, since so many things can be wrong.

P.S. Did the compy still reboot when you were running the Enermax PSU?

1.85 vcore i set it at and it shows 1.87. I can't adjust the vcore any higher it wont allow me .

Do you still have this problem if you set the CPU back to stock?

Try lowering the overclock a little bit, see if that helps.

Tried that still does same.
