Hello all.

I just put my desktop back into use after having it in storage for over a year. I had been having issues with it randomly shutting down at random. Sometimes after exiting a game or just minimizing a window on google chrome. I figured a fresh install of windows 7 would help but it just made it worse.

The only thing I can thing of is I did add new RAM but I was having the restart issues before. Any advice where to start trying to solve my problem.
 
Hi, Restarts are usually related to
-faulty power supply (try borrowing one and testing)
-high CPU temperatures (monitor temps uing HW Monitor)
-software issues (you've already reinstalled Windows - you can try disabling automatic restart at system failure).
