Hello,
In April I upgraded a few components in my computer after my PSU had gone bad and I wanted to upgrade a few things, aswell. I got a new graphics card and a new power supply, other than that I had all of my original components in the pc from back when I first built it in June of 2014. After my recent upgrade I had zero problems with my computer until a couple of weeks ago I started to experience random reboots for no given reason. The reboots are like this: monitors go black, no bsod or anything, and then my computer turns off and then I see the windows logo as I log back on.
I tried going into my logs and there were no errors or anything. I even suspected my Windows 10 to be faulty so I put my old Windows 7 disk in and reset my computer to Win 7. For a day it seemed like that had worked until I tried to launch PU Battlegrounds and right when I got into a lobby my computer screen went black and just restarted like nothing happened. At first it would restart if I was doing something demanding like playing a shooter game but then it started restarting when I would launch google chrome or steam. So I suspected my Video Card had gone bad, and I put my friends video card in and tried playing rocket league with it and opening my browser and live streams (tasks that previously made my pc reboot). My computer never restarted with his video card in and so I thought my card was bad. So I RMA my video card to EVGA and they sent me a new one.
I got the new card in the mail yesterday and tried it right away, and everything seemed to be working great! I could play Rocket League and watch live streams at the same time. Until my friend wanted to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and welp, after about 10 minutes of looting (just playing the game) my computer restarted. (Also I would just like to add that my computer used to be able to handle Battlegrounds just fine until recently) UGH! So I tried logging back on and everything was fine and I just played some Hearthstone and my pc never restarted. Then, I tried launching Overwatch and my pc restarted instantly, right when I pressed 'Play.' So today when I logged on I tried launching Overwatch and I made it past the cinematics and when I pressed to open a lootbox my pc restarted.
So that's where I am at now. I have tried my friend's GPU, my old GPU, and the new one I got back from EVGA, all to no avail. Did I get a faulty one back from EVGA? Is that possible? Are my older parts starting to go bad? Please help I am not sure of what I need to do now. I am at a road block and I would love for just some feedback or assistance. Thank you so much for your time either way.
Here are my PC specs:
Video Card: GTX 1060 6GB SC (new from EVGA as of yesterday)
CPU: AMD FX 8320 3.5 GHz 8-Core (old from June of 2014)
