Hi,
Im really puzzled at what might be causing this problem and would love some input from you guys what could be the cause of my random restarts. This is what is happening:
1. The computer have been running fine for 2 years.
2. It recently startet to close down from windows like a normal shutdown process out of the blue where windows show the running apps closing down before it finally reboots itself.
3. The event viewer shows the event as a requested shutdown from my useraccount (i have requested no such thing)
4. There are no temperature problems that i can see , everything is running below 40 C.
5. A few time it has allso just shut off while i was sitting in the bios trying to figure out the problem.
these solutions are what i have allready tried:
1. format computer
2. update bios
3. reset bios and load defaults
3. change PSU
4. change the CPU cooler and paste.
5. remove the ram 1 at the time and just using 1 in different slots.
6. using only one graphics card in differen PCE-E ports.
7. remove the pins that connects the ON/OFF and reset buttons to the cabinet
The computer seemes to be running just fine and with no problems untill it suddenly orders windows to shut down and i just cant figure out what is starting/causing this shutdown process. it almost seemes as if someone just hit the power button or something. I think the problem must be Motherboard/CPU related but is there any way of knowing this for sure ?
this is my computer specs:
ASUS sabertooth z87 motherboard
Haswell I7 4770K CPU
coolermaster CPU cooler(replaced the old stock cooler in this process)
32GB RAM Hyperx 2400 Mhz
Nvidia Geforce 970 GTX and a 770 GTX for secondary display.
Kingston SSD 240GB HDD
Win7 Ultimate
Is there anyone with a clue to what can be going on ? what can cause this restart when none of the above solutions worked? the last thing i havent tried is replacing the MB i guess but i really dont want to do this if im not sure its defect.
