Hey guys, I need alot of help, this is gonna be a long one so hold on. It all started about 2 weeks ago, I was just surfing the internet and my computer randomly restarted no woarning or anything it just went black and restarted, this went on for abut a week and a half. Then my computer really messed up when I went to boot it and wouldnt boot it would only go to the windows reapuir screen and attempt to repair my files, I only got it to boot to my home screen two times after that then it would be extremely slow and wouldnt let me do anything then it woulde restart and do the whole windows repair thing over again.
Please help, i'm thinking it's my power supplies but i'm not sure


my specs are-

fx-6100

msi 760 gm-p23 (fx)

500 GIG wd

8 gigs of patriot viper ram

7770 1 gb gddr5

corsair cx 600 watt

It sounds to me like a memory problem. I would start with re-seating the RAM sticks. Clean the contacts and blow out the slot before reinstalling the stick.

Here are two checklist on this topic.

I just noticed your power supply. The Corsair CX series are problematic. I would also check the power supply voltages.

Make sure you have the latest BIOS, the would run some things to check with Malware BYtes (they have a free version), a virus scan, check the hard drive (go to command prompt as Administrator and run the command CHKDSK /R when that completes run the system file checker from the command prompt with the command SFC /SCANNOW
