My PC constantly turns itself off and restarts, it usually stays on and running fine for a max of 5-10 minutes then just switches itself off and restarts. Actually not sure it restarts anymore, as just turned off now and did the last few times.
Went to turn it back on and power button doing nothing, that happens sometimes but then try again a few times or later and it works again....Actually 5 minutes after turning itself off and power button doing nothing it's suddenly just turned itself back on.
I thought it was the CPU fan, so I cleaned up the fan and put new thermal paste down. No luck.
The CPU fan has some loose lock in pins but it seems pretty much locked and tight to the cpu.
Oh and I thought maybe it's the Power supply plug connection or plug end being loose fit, as the pc doesn't always turn on when I press the power button, but jiggling the PSU plug in connection just now didn't turn the power off so guess maybe not that
Any ideas of what to try next to fix it?
