For the past couple of weeks I've been plagued by random freezes and reboots of my PC. They were initially happening at a rate of around 3 a day. Either the PC would freeze, or it would reboot by itself.
Over the last couple of days, the problem seems to be getting worse, and now around once every 10 or so times I turn on my PC, it gets stuck in a reboot cycle. I press the power button, the computer turns on, then about 1 second later (before any text on the screen) the computer reboots. The turning on and rebooting continues until I pull the power plug out.
I've tried changing the RAM, and using another video card. I've tried unplugging all cards/devices except the graphics card. I've also tried a different graphics card, and also tried a fresh install of Windows 7. This doesn't solve the problem.
It's hard to replicate the problem as the reboot cycle fault seems to come at random intervals, and sometimes I can go 24 hours or so without it happening.
I'm starting to think it may be a faulty PSU, but I don't have a spare one to try or any means to test the current one. The PSU is a Corsair CMPSU-1000HXUK.
Any help will be appreciated!
