Specification:
AMD FX8350
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
Intel 530 Series 120 GB SSD + WD Caviar Green 2TB
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2×8) DDR3
Corsair 550W PSU

My PC works fine for a few minutes and then gets stuck in a reboot loop. I can hear the CPU fan running in full throttle when this happens. The cause which might have led to this situation can be several improper shutdown due to power cuts and faulty UPS.

I am in great need of my PC at this point of time. I published this thread using my mobile. Please help.

My system worked fine for a year while I was in college where there was no power cut. This issue started after I came home and the system faced several (20-30 times) improper shutdowns in a short period of time. I fear there might be some hardware issues caused due to the above mentioned problem although shitty cpu fan is also one of the issue. I will be getting a replacement soon.

Have you made sure inside of the computer is clear of any dust - specially the CPU heatsink & fan. If you've had power issues, you might want to replace the Hard drive, it could be knackered - they don't like sudden power failures - I had one fail last year because the power lead was loose. Check all cables are connected properly particularly the CPU power and the ATX cable.

I have the same CPU running on stock cooler.. and not a problem. Doubt it would be anything to do with that if you have fine temps.
My computer used to do this until I replaced the PSU.
Good luck
