This is a continuing problem, my computer restarts (as if i just turned it on) and i dont know what the problem is.The time varies from when it happens, its gone as long as an hour to several hours.
Specs:

CPU: intel pentium g3258
Mobo: biostar h81mhv3
Ram: ballistix 4gb sport ddr3
HDD: wdc wd10ezex-00bn5a0
GPU: nvidia geforce gtx 750 ti
PSU: evga 500w
Chassis: N/a
OS: Win7



- I know its not the psu or mobo because they are new.
- It happens with and without my gfx.
- Also happens with 1 stick of memory in either slot and yes i tried both sticks alone in both slots.

And It doesnt give a blue screen (Automatic Restart on System Failure is disabled) , it isnt an over heating problem because i have coretemp and the levels are where they should be. Any help is appreciated.

ran chkdsk and it came back clean, and disk defrag and it was only 1% and cleared that up.
could it really be OS? i havent made any updates recently so what would make the problem occur out of no where?

sorry i mean OS reinstallation solved my problem. I guess it was HDD issue, bad sectors or something. Hey you could check your power supply also

problem happend with old psu,which is why i got a new one ( needed a new one anyways) which is why i stated it's probably no psu. computer was fine for a few days from when i posted, then problem happend again. reinstalled OS and will post back if problem still occurs (HDD is like a year old would be pretty upsetting if thats the problem lol)

Most would rule out RAM first (so easy to change), then try a known good quality PSU....(A PSU being 'new' is not the same thing as the PSU being 'known good'...; it's only really 'known good' when tested with a stout GPU and MB under 85-90% load without issue. 'Paperclip' testing and measuring outputs with a voltmeter under no load conditions is just ever so barely short of worthless..)

You can also disconnect unneeded USB headers, devices, and unneeded internal SATA storage drives/cables to rule out intermittent shorts)
Once those are ruled out, many end up remaining with a failing motherboard...
