Question

PC keeps restarting on its own

Jun 29, 2019 2:21PM PDT

Hi all,
I have an issue with my pc. Everytime i use my pc for a few hours it restarts on its own, it restarts in less time after that, even faster after that and in not too long its just in a endless cycle of restarting. When i turn off the pc and let it rest for a bit i can use it for a little bit again. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Sounds like heat issues.

Tell the forum how long it's been or if ever you've given the PC the usual canned air cleaning and checked all the fans.

What about the other hundred chips?

I don't mean to be dismissive but that's one chip out of how many.

And you didn't answer my question so I take it the answer is never.

Time to do the work and while inside be sure all fans work like new.

At one month not yours to fix.

Back to its maker to sort it out.

As to the temps of other parts I use a laser spot thermometer. My background is in electronics design and too many days in databooks about chips and specs.

Your top post omits age so I have to go with the usual.
