Hello all,
I will try to explain my situation the best I can.
I built my first PC about 6 months back (Components list at bottom of post.) and it worked like a gem for those first 6 months I had it. about 2 weeks ago I decided to buy a surge protector to plug my PC and monitor into instead of the wall and a couple days after that my PC randomly died and rebooted in the middle of me working. I didn't think anything of it until the same thing happened twice the next day and so I unplugged my surge protector because that's where the problem started but the same thing just kept happening, It died and reboots. I took the side of my case and had a look around, there is no smell of smoke or any damage to the motherboard or any other part of the PC. I really am lost at whats going on and it is a pain to be doing something and have your computer shut off out of the blue.
Thanks for any help at all.
