Hey everyone, im coming to you guys with a very weird problem to see if anyone has any advice.
i built this system over a year ago and its been running perfect and cool the entire time. about two weeks ago my pc started randomly shutting off completely and rebooting. as i did not have the components to test i sent it to a pc repair shop to diagnose and they said it was due to a bad cpu cooler. so i bought a new cooler and am having the exact same problems. and when i am using the system it does not get above 60C. after that i bought a new motherboard (MSI X670 AORUS ELITE AX) thinking it could be the only issue and the new motherboard does not boot at all. i tried with and without a gpu and in both cases the "vga" light turns on which would indicate a gpu fault, but without the gpu? the final thing i tried was updating the bios of the new motherboard, so i took out the cpu, ram, and gpu before trying to qflash the new bios and when i hit the qflash button the system would only turn on for half a second before turning off again. so i need youre guys help determining if its a bad cpu, or two bad motherboards.
facts/observations:
system crashes happen in *almost* any condition, happens in windows and in linux, does not happen when system is "idle" but if youre moving the mouse around or browsing chrome or gaming it can crash anytime
system has not crashed in bios settings
system crashes observed on different wall outlets. even in different buildings
system crashes are INCREDIBLY random, sometimes you dont even have enough time to finish loading windows, other times i can play video games for literal hours.
issue is observed with different ram
issue is observed with different psu
issue is observed with no gpu
issue is observed with two different coolers
tried clearing CMOS of both motherboards, to no avail
different issues are observed with two different motherboards, one does not boot while the other does not stay on
no overclocking profile applied to cpu, gpu, or ram
im on the verge of just ordering another motherboard and a new cpu but if anyone can think of anything that would point to or the other or if anyone can give me any ideas to test id appreciate it greatly
