Hello,
I recently made an upgrade to my PC because I gave my older parts to a friend. I added an SSD to my case to speed up some programs that I used often. Please note I gave away my older parts gradually, so I had a few different parts combinations in my PC (ex. fx 6300/ gtx 760 Msi twin frozr, then i5 6600k/gtx 760). I upgraded from the gtx 760 to the reference nvidia gtx 970. Everything was working fine, until my PC would turn on for a few seconds, shut itself off, and turn on again. An error page would appear saying "press f1 to restore bios setup" along with info about my system. It worries me because I think turning off and on by itself would shorten the life of my expensive PC. Any recommendations?
Specs after giving parts to friend:
Intel i5 6600k @ 3.5 ghz
Asus Z-170 A motherboard
Evga supernova 650 watt gold psu
Nvidia reference gtx 970
Western digital blue 1tb 7200 rpm
Nzxt S340 white mid tower case
