I built a custom PC back in February 2016, meaning all the components are less than a year old. Back at the beginning of October, it started randomly crashing/restarting. It wouldn't happen too often but as time progressed it happened more and more frequently. Now it randomly (and I mean randomly) restarts doing pretty much anything. Sometimes it'll crash after 20 minutes of watching youtube videos, sometimes I can sit on the desktop for an hour and nothing will happen, sometimes it'll restart before I can even load up the desktop, sometimes I can load up a game click through a menu or two and then it'll restart.
Whether i'm doing something or not on my PC, it'll restart. It'll turn off for 2-3 seconds and then turn back on, but there won't be a blue error screen, like if I just turned my computer off and then on again. I cleaned out my PC, downloaded speccy, msi afterburner, and speedfan and it doesn't appear that anything is overheating. I believe it's something with the hardware, as I formated my HDD and shortly after getting to the desktop after that, it restarted/crashed as usual, so it's not any programs I had/have.
Basic specs:
CPU: i7 4790k quad core
GPU: GeForce GTX 970
RAM: G. Skills Rip Jaws 8gb dual sticks (16gb total, 2 sticks)
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A USB 3.1
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750W 80+ Gold
Any help would be appreciated as this is quite frustrating and i'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to repair/troubleshooting.
