So I started that new thread last night when my PC started crashing again thinking it's the GPU's fault, but I have no proof and it could as well be something else.
PC specs:
CPU - Intel® Core™2 Quad Q9550 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
GPU - Asus Radeon HD 4850 (PCIe 2.0 ×16, 1GB)
MOB - Asus P5Q3
RAM - Patriot Memory 1600LL Series (2x2GB, DDR3)
PSU - OCZ 600SXS
System - Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit, Service Pack 1)
Here's what happens. I turn the PC on by pressing the power button, it starts loading Windows and before I can even log on to the system, it restarts itself - as if some invisible finger pressed the reset button - and it keeps restarting every couple of seconds and it won't stop unless I turn the power supply off. Like I said, once it happens, it keeps restarting over and over and over again. After switching off the extension cable (to which every plug is connected), I have to wait a couple of minutes (or a couple of hours) and when turned back on - it works just fine. So annoying!
Sometimes it happens when I'm already in Windows, sometimes before I can even see the Bios screen. In a word - randomly.
There are no BSODs, no errors, no viruses or malware software (according to Avast).
I had my RAM scanned and checked, as well as my HDD. Nothing seems to be wrong.
Perhaps my PSU is the reason or overheating of one of the components (I wish I knew how to check if temperatures are too high). Or it is really that GPU. I really don't know. Does anyone have any ideas?
