Hi,

My PC has an annoying problem that I don't know how to help: The PC restarts itself at random.
This can be really annoying if I'm in a competative counter-strike or rainbow six seige game.
I've had my PC for about a year now and has done this ever since, except for a few months from about august to november.
I even sent it back to the company I bought it from (https://www.arcticsecrets.nl/) to get it repaired, but six weeks later it came back still broken. They said it didn't restart itself once, but they never actually logged onto my PC so the problem must be something with the hardware.
This has also happend to me while I was in a sit and got banned for leaving to avoid punishment.

Please help someone.
Thank.

I also have a really terrible PC. It sounds like its a component problem, or bad connection. does it "restart" or turn off and on again (random power loss type action)

Does this just happen when playing games? and can you give some specs?

I only really play games on this PC so it does only happen when playing a game.

It might be overheating. Download HWMonitor (https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html) and check how hot your CPU gets while playing games. Usually, your PC gets automatically rebooted when the CPU hits around 90 - 100 degrees to prevent damage. If it does overheat you should probably go clean your pc or get a new cooler.

I'd like to reopen this, because the other day I had my pc started up for about 1 minute and then it crashed again.
