Hi All
 
I had a new upgrade some months back,
but now the PC started yesterday with a problem,
when turning on it just shuts off, tries to power up and shuts down and so it continues.
 
I left it and later it worked for the whole day,
today I turned it on, and went on Internet and then it shut off and tried to start again by itself and then powered down and tried to start again,
I had to turn off power to the power-supply to get it to stop.
 
I'm thinking it should be a overheating problem of a part,
but not sure which part could cause such a restart cycle.
 
Power-supply?
 
Current specs:
CPU: Intel I5 4670k
PSU: Corsair AX860i
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8gb 2400mhz
motherboard:  EVGA Z87 FTW 
screencard: MSI Radeon R9290
HDD: Samsung SSD 840 Pro

    What Virus Software do you have?
    What CPU Cooler are you using?
    What has changed in the last few weeks?
    What is shown in your Event Viewer?
    On the Restart Cycle is the OS Shutting Down or Only Power Cycling?
    Are you Overclocking your Intel I5 4670k CPU?

    PSU... maybe.
     
    Start from here. Go into BIOS and change the setting that will turn on the PC in case of power loss. Mostly there are 3 options. Last state, off, on.

    1. McAfee
    2. Standard Intel
    3. Nothing actually
    4. Were will I check this?
    5. Power Cycling, like it just wants to start and then reset and continue doing this over and over
    6. no overclocking due to standard cooling. But it was bought with the intention of overclocking it when I get better cooling

    I could not get into the BOIS, had to reset it from the motherboard,
    before I even changed the setting I could boot into Windows after the reset.

    It is now working and my son is playing games with no problem.
     
    I'm thinking that it might be a memory problem then,
    because the memory was set to XMP and 2400mhz,
    and now after the BOIS reset, it is back to slow mhz and XMP is disabled.

    Could it be?

    Yes, it sounds like the motherboard was having a hard time getting the RAM to work at 2400MHz, that's why it kept rebooting over and over again.

    Check your cables. Give them all a push, especially the 24 pin and 8pin cpu, and make sure they are seated on the motherboard and psu.
