I've seen this issue around, but nothing about fixing it.
So I bought my computer from an online vendor in April. Almost right away it would randomly restart. Very few and far between so I didn't think much of it. Then it got to the point where I couldn't play a game (Saints Row IV, Skyrim) for more than 10 minutes without it restarting. Called the people who put it together and we went through some things. Tested the graphics card, ran memtest and such. The last couple of times its happened, I've just been browsing the internet, not even doing anything too extreme. And I noticed a quick flash of a POST screen that said "power surge detected". I informed the company and they want me to send it in so they can test it. Normally that would be fine, but I'm in the middle of a Project Management class, I can't NOT have a computer right now. And with them based on the west coast and me on the east, no idea when I will get it back. So i took it upon myself and bought a new PSU because everything I've seen online regarding this issue usually came down to that. And everything was fine for over a week. Play games for hours, got my projects done..and in the last 48 hours, it's happened 6 times. I've tried a different surge protector and different wall outlets. I've even turned off the ASUS anti-surge protection in the BIOS, all it did was restart without a POST screen. I was checking AI Suite 3 and it happened when doing it and I noticed no issues with voltage.
I really have no idea. Here are my specs:
Windows 8.1
Motherboard: Asus Z87-k
CPU: intel I5-4670
Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 770, with dual monitors
Memory: ADATA XPG 8gb DDR3
PSU: Corsair CX750 (original), Corsair CX750M (new)
Any thoughts?
Update: It's been 3 weeks and I've tried a few different things. I unplugged my graphics card and plugged my monitors directly into the mobo...still happens. I bought a UPS and hooked it up...still happens. The only thing that I can think of is that it's the mobo. I'm completely lost and at my wits end.
