PC Kaput Again · 2:09pm Jun 23rd, 2023
Got my PC back after two weeks of it being in the shop and having every inch of it tested to figure out what the problem with it was. Everything came back green across the board with no issues and the fault couldn't be replicated.
Got the PC back today and within ten minutes it started doing the same forced restart with no error message shit it did before I put it in the shop.
Probably just gonna throw myself off a bridge at this point because this means I'm gonna have to just buy new parts for an entirely new computer.
If anyone's looking for a commission, come hit me up because I need money lmao.

Im sorry, but at your current price range there is no way i can afford any sort of commissionings
Have you tried loading the machine into safe mode? If you do that and problem resolves itself, then it's not hardware. Following that up, is the machine just trying to update?

I have done literally every single conceivable thing you could ever do to a PC to test it. Then when that didn't work, I took it to a professional who did every single thing conceivable you could ever do to a PC to test it for two weeks straight, and that didn't work. Literally the only possible answer to what the problem could be at this point is that the house itself can't sufficiently provide enough power to the PC.
That is how far down the rabbit hole we've gone and how many other options we've crossed off the list here.

Does that include reimaging?

Reinstalling the OS on this mf was probably the third thing I did after checking that my PSU wasn't failing and my drives weren't corrupted. It didn't work the first time I tried it, it didn't work the fourth time I tried it, and it didn't work the tenth time I tried it either. I mean it when I say it that I've spent months working on this stupid thing and have spent god knows how much time and money replacing parts, reinstalling OS' and drivers, wiping, reseating, reinstalling, doing everything you can do to a computer.
Nothing has worked to fix this thing, and even two weeks in the hands of an I.T professional who ran a gauntlet of torture tests and reinstalls on this thing from the ground up couldn't get the problem to replicate itself because the PC worked flawlessly for them whenever they tested it. At this point, the only thing that could be wrong with it is the house itself, which is something I 100% cannot fix.
thank god i am not the only one having this happen
have you checked if the power supply unit inside the PC is still providing enough watts or is operational?
buddy had a similar problem and after changing that for a bigger one his problems ended.
If you don’t have this connected to a UPS with AVR (known as a line interactive UPS) then I recommend you get one. That will rule out voltage dips as a source of reboots.
Sounds like you need to buy a gremlin bell.
Did the shop give you a list of what they tried?
If your house is super old and has not great power you need to get a proper sinewave UPS that can condition and backup to take over in voltage dips as well as overvoltage etc. The Gen 3 (color flip out screen) of the cppfc1500va will probably be on sale on prime day soon. It normally always is and is a solid unit for such things.
What are the pc specs?

was gonna say this exact same thing power surge protector or an ups
