My vote is for power supply.  What size/type is yours now?

While you are in there make sure everything is still plugged in right.  I've had problems with RAM, GPU and M.2 components not seated correctly, so bad that my computer wouldn't even boot into the bios.

Agree with the POWER SUPPLY and possibly RAM. If you haven’t done so in a while get some compressed air and blow out the dust and reseat the RAM while your in there.

If not then you will need to check your ram cards and go from there.  Your basically getting a BSOD without the blue screen.  I will agree with the others that power supply is probably your main issue specially if its more than 4-5 years old since you put on in. You can actually check what its putting out on the board but that also might be a geeks job.

This has been going on very intermittently for quite some time but over the last couple of months, it has been happening more and more often. I have a powered USB plugged into one slot and my TrackIr and headphones into another two. I will go down and get another PS tomorrow to see if that is the culprit. Thanks fellas, always suspected you were a bunch of geeks!!

Very funny, Gordon Liddy.

But seriously, the power supply is probably the problem and would be the cheapest solution.  You may also need some 30 weight ball bearings too!

Very funny, Gordon Liddy.

How old is it Razor?  Also, did this start before your new win wing panels or after.  I'm thinking either Motherboard or power supply.  How many USB's are plugged directly into your Computer?

Power supply?  Good call and would definitely explain the trip and immediate restart.

Pretty sure the winwings are plugged into a powered USB hub which wouldn't be drawing off the PSU.
