Hello everyone, so since last year I have had this problem : my computer reboots after 5-10 minutes of gaming (or less). Sometimes it works fine but reboots after exiting the game.

When it reboots, in certain cases, I will get no signal on the monitor and when I check with 'Remote Chrome Desktop', I notice that the gpu is not detected, only the intel hd graphics.

I would like to know, which of the components is the culprit ?

Specs : i5 4460
8gb ram ddr3
gigabyte gtx 960 4gb
mobo : afox h81
psu : Qmax 700w
windows 10 x64
Note: My pc is 2 years old, and it was working fine until last year when I changed my psu with the same one because the former wasn't supplying enough power to the gpu : the error says ' pcie cable not connected' even if it is connected. So after changing it, it worked for 1 month, then came this problem of rebooting.
Also, you should note that when i boot my computer, after the windows logo appears, sometimes, the pc will lose signal for 10 seconds then gets back to normal.

Thank you in advance, and I am sorry for the length of the thread and for my english.
 


That power supply needs to go ASAP. Unknown brand that I have never even heard of.

Are you sure that the psu is the problem? I know it is an unknown brand but my friend has the same one and he didn't face any problems
