Hello, as I wrote in the title, my PC restarts itself after approx. 5 minutes of being idle, like completely idle, no key pressing or mouse moving, it works as long as I'm active on it, but if it stays idle for like 5 mins it crashes.

Any solution for this? or what could cause this?
I am running windows 10. Its up to date and its installed on a Samsung Evo 850 nvme ssd. Thank you.

Went into the Device Manager > Network Adapters > Belkin USB Wireless Adaptor > Properties > Power Management > Unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

RMA Powersupply hasn't arrived yet. It's scheduled to be here in 3 days. It's not a power supply issue after all.

Could you list your full system specs for us? And are you getting a BSOD or is it just flat out shutting off?

My initial thought is that it’s one of three things. Either your power settings in Windows are set weird, your PSU is failing when the PC tries to sleep, or your RAM is causing this.

It just reboots. No BSOD.

MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard
MSI GeForce GTX 1070
Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series 850FX
Intel Core i7-7700k
Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB nVME SSD
G.Skill Ripjaw 16GBx2 (I think I found a problem) Listed as Z170 Platform memory, I have a Z270 board... could this be the issue?) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231967. The G.Skill "expert" on Newegg says its compatible so probably not the issue.

I ran a Memory Diagnostic Tool, no faults found. I'm thinking PSU issue. It can sit at the login screen all day, but if I login and leave it sit, it freezes, hangs, and then reboots.
