Specs: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2, RAM: 8gb ddr3, AMD radeon r7 250 series, EVGA 450 v, 1000 TB HDD… About 14 months ago, I started experiencing some random shutdowns when using my PC but I didn’t think much of it… Last week, my monitors and my mouse and keyboards stop working and the only way to get them back is to restart my PC… sometimes it just loops where I turn it on and before it boots up the lock screen the PC crashes and restarts over and over… I’m pretty sure it’s my power supply but is the only way I can fix this problem getting a new power supply?

Hi @wantonsoup , As you didn’t say what you’ve checked here are a couple of things to try first before looking at a possible PSU problem Try starting in safe mode and check if it boots OK and stays on. If it does it is a driver problem. Try repairing the Windows Startup and check if that works. In the Windows Recovery Environment menu go to Troubleshoot > Advanced > startup repair. Do not select Reset this PC because if you select the wrong option after this you can erase all your data as Windows will be reinstalled Have you got a restore point set in the PC? If so try restoring the PC to a point in time before the problem started. You will have to reinstall any new programs installed after that date and also any updates but your data won’t be lost.

Take out and reseat the memory modules. If two modules then try one at a time. Does the problem occur? Same if you have a graphics card. Are all fans spinning?
