About a month ago I bought a secondhand computer from a pawn shop, it worked fine until yesterday when it started to restart itself. I bought a new power supply for it about 2 weeks ago (aywun elite gold series 650w), and a new graphics card for it about 1 week ago (geforce gtx 760).
When it restarts itself, the monitor goes black, cpu and gpu fans turn off, cpu and gpu fans come back on, monitor comes back on and computer boots normally.
The restarts increase in their frequency until the computer doesn't boot at all.
When it doesn't boot at all, cpu and gpu fans turn on really fast, but nothing comes up on the monitor.
-I tried using a different graphics card
-I tried using 1 stick of ram at a time
-I tried to boot in safe mode
-The temperatures look fine in bios immediately after a restart and the computer doesn't feel hot to the touch
I'm thinking it's a motherboard problem?
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: don't know - in system information it just says: cm6630_cm6730_cm6830
cpu: intel i5-2320 3ghz
os: windows 7 home premium
bios version/date: american megatrends inc. 0505, 18/07/2011
smbios version: 2.6
ram: 2 x 4gb
gpu: geforce gtx 760
psu: aywun elite gold series 650w
hard drive: 2tb
