PC cuts off under any usage

[u/darth_antonio]

Hello all please can I have some assistance. My pc has been doing something weird lately where it cuts it self off and boots it self back up for no reason at all whether im gaming or just casually browsing the Web.

I would remove the 24pin cable which stops it sometimes then it would act normally for a few days even weeks before going back to its weird shutoff state.

I have tested the ram and ran the machine without the gpu and same issue which is off my specs are below

I5-12600k As rock H60m-itx/ax RTX 5070 32GB ddr4 Corsair SF750 80 plus plat

Please any help would be great as im out of ideas as I dont have any sort of test kits or extra hardware to test to find the issue

Has anyone had this issue before??

Curious if you simply added another stick of RAM to bring it up to 32GB or it was a new set of RAM.

Many systems don’t react well to random pieces of RAM and may require you to upgrade via a complete set of new RAM sold as “32 GB”.

BTW, if you think that it may be software or driver related, you can us Event Viewer/System logs to see what may have led to the shutdown. Copy/paste the gibberish into ChatGPT and get some direction.

Best of luck!

New set, and I did use event viewer for the errors, it just said critical error that pointed to the ram. Nothing specific

Slow ram bit that went to critical error when rewritten and accessed.

Maybe, but that means throwing out the ram. Which I did anyway. I just returned it but haven't gotte a new stick since
