ok, I've asked this question before, but I got too busy with school that I couldn't find the time to reply last time. anyway, here's my problem:
my computer keeps shutting down after around 30mins. alot of people I've asked said it might be the PSU or mobo, but more likely the PSU, so after around 2months I finally decided to buy a PSU since its cheaper than the mobo.
installed the new one, still the same problem. it shuts down around the same time even when under stress or not. i also checked the temps and they're all fine. i just noticed the other part of the problem before.
it only shows 8gb ram instead of my 16gb ram before, so I decided to switch around the ram sticks and see which one was working. seems that only 2 of the 4 ddr3 slots are working. i tried all the sticks and when they're in those 2 slots, they are working fine, the other 2 are not working.
right now it seems that the mobo is the problem and not the PSU. if that's the case, should i buy a new one with the same brand and everything?? i don't wanna encounter any problems while installing a new one that's why I want the same motherboard, or should i buy something different?? also, should I keep the new PSU or return it?? its 600w compared to my old one which is 400W, I don't know the differences though other than that, they're all the same.
or is there another problem with my pc?? if you need more information just ask, I'll give them right away, thank you.
pc specs:
gigabyte ga-b75m-d3h motherboard
intel i7
16gb ram (or 8...)
3tb hdd and a smaller size ssd (has the OS in it) i forgot how much gb...
i forgot what nvidia the graphics is.
