Hi first post, anyways.
Had a PSU blow up so got a new one from Corsair, and since putting it all back together started to experience random reboots and crashing. The reboots were as if I had turned the power off and on again, and the crashes displayed random solid colors on the screen with the GPU fan dying. These things are happening at completely random times, be it playing games, watching youtube, idle on desktop. I had left the pc idle on desktop today, and after returning from a shower caught it booting up after a restart.
I had initially suspected that when the previous PSU popped it fucked up other hardware, but after taking the machine apart and reconnecting the whole mess, all problems went away. Life was good for a month or so until the fan started making a racket and I decided to smack the back of the tower a few times to get it to stop. After a few days of doing this, whatever was loose loosened again and the problems have returned.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the culprit may be? I can easily take the whole thing apart and re-seat all connections, but I'd prefer to single out the issue so it won't be a problem in future. I wanna smack my PC without fear
