Hi all, so my computer has recently been restarting constantly and its starting to get on my nerves. So far there has been 2 scenarios when it happens

1. The computer turns off, but the hardware remains working (fans spinning, hard drive turning) and i hold the power button down to turn the entire system off, then restart it.

2. The computer restarts normally (everything turns off and it restarts itself)

So i was thinking that this was a problem with the PSU but then due to the first scenario i started thinking it could have something to do with the motherboard.

Anyone have any idea of what it is or what it could be?

Based on the first scenario, I think it may be a problem with the GPU overheating. The second one however, may be relating to the PSU. Try monitoring your GPU's temperature for awhile. If it goes over the recommended temp for your specific GPU, then it's a cooling problem.
